Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sydney Toolbox plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.25

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's aThemes Slider button element due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied links. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For Sydney Toolbox plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.25, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the aThemes Slider button element to minimize the risk of exploitation.
