CVE-2023-24418 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Gopi Ramasamy's Tiny carousel horizontal slider plus WordPress plugin versions 3.2 and below. The vulnerability was discovered on January 23, 2023, and publicly disclosed on April 6, 2023 (Patchstack).

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient escaping of several fields in the edit gallery and edit image forms. This security issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.8 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) (WPScan).

The vulnerability could allow high-privilege users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, such as in multisite setups. This could enable malicious actors to inject harmful scripts, including redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads that execute when visitors access the site (Patchstack).

Currently, there is no official fix available for this vulnerability. Given the low severity impact and the requirement for administrative privileges, the risk is considered minimal (Patchstack).
