An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-2823 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider – Responsive WordPress Plugin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2823/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2823/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-2823","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2823/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-2823","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jwq4-3rxm-96c4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via gallery parameters, leading to stored XSS attacks in WordPress environments.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"slider\\,_gallery\\,_and_carousel","vendor":"metaslider"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider WordPress plugin before 3.27.9 does not sanitise and escape some of its Gallery Image parameters, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider \u003c 3.27.9 - Admin+ Stored Cross Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-2823","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in openemr/openemr","id":"CVE-2022-2824"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness in octoprint/octoprint","id":"CVE-2022-2822"},"products":["Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider – Responsive WordPress Plugin"],"published":"2022-10-10","related":[{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider – Image Slider, Video Slider","id":"CVE-2025-5337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-14"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider – Image Slider, Video Slider","id":"CVE-2024-3285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-11"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Responsive WordPress Slideshows 3.29.0 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2023-1473","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-17"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Slider, Gallery, Carousel by MetaSlider \u003c 3.95.0 - Editor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2025-1062","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-24"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Slider, Gallery, Carousel by MetaSlider \u003c 3.95.0 - Editor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2025-1203","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via gallery parameters, leading to stored XSS attacks in WordPress environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2823/"}
