Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, 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-2026-16537 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Slick Slider. 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-2026-16537/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16537/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16537","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16537/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16537","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gvvh-735h-j96c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via gallery shortcodes, leading to stored XSS attacks against site visitors.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 Slick Slider WordPress plugin before 0.5.3 does not sanitize and escape a shortcode attribute value before outputting it in an HTML attribute, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute when a user views the affected post.","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":"Slick Slider \u003c 0.5.3 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Gallery Shortcode","id":"CVE-2026-16537","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"TeraWallet - Wallet for WooCommerce \u003c 1.6.10 - Subscriber+ Wallet Balance Inflation via Discounted Top-Up","id":"CVE-2026-16538"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Simple Google Calendar Outlook Events Widget \u003c 3.1.0 - Unauthenticated SSRF via calendar_id","id":"CVE-2026-16536"},"products":["Slick Slider"],"published":"2026-08-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-06","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via gallery shortcodes, leading to stored XSS attacks against site visitors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16537/"}
