Official description
The Smart Slider 3 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1.37 via the 'keyword' parameter.

The required nonce is emitted on /wp-admin/post-new.php, which is accessible to Contributor-level users via the edit_posts capability, meaning any Contributor can obtain the nonce needed to trigger the injection.
