The SlideShowPro SC WordPress plugin up to version 1. 0. 2 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via its slideShowProSC shortcode. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the affected pages. This vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes. The CVSS score is 6. 4, indicating a medium severity level. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-5767 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the SlideShowPro SC WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.2). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of attributes in the slideShowProSC shortcode. This allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data disclosure within the context of the affected WordPress site. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known active exploits reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the SlideShowPro SC plugin if feasible to prevent exploitation.
