CVE-2026-18344 Details
Description
The Wp Responsive Thumbnail Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'id' parameter in versions up to, and excluding, 1.1.53. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the responsive_thumbnail_image_management() function, which echoes $_GET['id'] directly into a double-quoted HTML attribute with no esc_attr() call. The only guard is a loose PHP numeric comparison ($_GET['id']>0) that a string beginning with a numeric prefix trivially satisfies, and the addslashes() applied by wp_magic_quotes() is inert in HTML-attribute context because backslash is not an HTML escape character. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a specially crafted link.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Wp Responsive Thumbnail Slider plugin for WordPress, affecting versions prior to 1.1.53. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the 'responsive_thumbnail_image_management()' function, which directly echoes the 'id' parameter from the URL into a double-quoted HTML attribute without proper escaping. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that could be executed if a user is tricked into clicking a crafted link.
Users are advised to update the Wp Responsive Thumbnail Slider plugin to version 1.1.53 or later.
