CVE-2024-13314

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Carousel, Slider, Gallery by WP Carousel WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.7.4

Description The issue concerns the lack of sanitization and escaping of some settings in the plugin, which could allow high-privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This is possible even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.7.4, update to version 2.7.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the plugin in multisite setups where the unfiltered html capability is disallowed until the issue is resolved.
