Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Contact Slider WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.4.8

Description The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform cross-Site Scripting attacks. This is possible because the plugin does not properly sanitize and escape its settings, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.4.8, update to version 2.4.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
