Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Slideshow, Image Slider by 2J plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.54

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. This can be achieved by tricking a user into performing an action, such as clicking on a link, via the post parameter.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.3.54, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Reflected Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the post parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
