An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-1473 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider. 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-2023-1473/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1473/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-1473","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1473/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-1473","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-53gc-hw42-vfp5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in MetaSlider plugin allows attackers to execute scripts against admin users, potentially leading to account takeover.","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":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider WordPress plugin 3.29.0 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Responsive WordPress Slideshows 3.29.0 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2023-1473","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SourceCodester Automatic Question Paper Generator System GET Parameter manage_question_paper.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2023-1474"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"RapidLoad Power-Up for Autoptimize \u003c= 1.7.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2023-1472"},"products":["Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider"],"published":"2023-04-17","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":4.8,"headline":"Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider \u003c 3.27.9 - Admin+ Stored Cross Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-2823","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-10"},{"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-06","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in MetaSlider plugin allows attackers to execute scripts against admin users, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1473/"}
