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-2022-41554 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: John West Slideshow SE. 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-2022-41554/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-41554/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-41554","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-41554/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-41554","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fg79-qpmw-gp66"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via stored XSS in the Slideshow SE plugin, potentially compromising user sessions and site integrity.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"slideshow_se","vendor":"slideshow_se_project"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","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":"Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in John West Slideshow SE plugin \u003c= 2.5.5 versions.","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":"WordPress Slideshow SE Plugin \u003c= 2.5.5 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2022-41554","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Delta Electronics DIAEnergie","id":"CVE-2022-41555"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information Exposure Vulnerability in Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor, Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer","id":"CVE-2022-41553"},"products":["Slideshow SE"],"published":"2023-03-16","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Slideshow SE plugin \u003c= 2.5.17 - Auth.
