CVE-2025-12590
YSlider <= 1.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The YSlider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 1.1. This is due to missing nonce verification on the content configuration page and insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages via a forged request granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The injected scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: YSlider de andreaferracani, Description: El plugin YSlider para WordPress es vulnerable a falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados a cross-site scripting almacenado en todas las versiones hasta la 1.1, inclusive. Esto se debe a la falta de verificación de nonce en la página de configuración de contenido y a la sanitización insuficiente de la entrada y al escape de salida insuficiente. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas a través de una petición falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar a un administrador para que realice una acción, como hacer clic en un enlace. Los scripts inyectados se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada. -
