Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Logo Slider WordPress plugin before 4.0.0 does not validate and escape some of its Slider Settings before outputting them back in attributes, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Logo Slider WordPress plugin before version 4.0.0 fails to properly validate and escape Slider Settings parameters before outputting them back into HTML attributes. This allows authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject malicious JavaScript code that persists on the affected page, executing in the browsers of users who view the slider.

MitigationUpdate Logo Slider plugin to version 4.0.0 or later, which includes proper input validation and output escaping for slider settings. Alternatively, restrict contributor-level user permissions until the patch can be applied.
