Discussion
WordPress Revslider Plugin Cross Site Scripting And Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities
The Revslider plugin for Wordpress is prone to a cross-site-scripting vulnerability and an information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage these issues to obtain potentially sensitive information and to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
