Oct 4, 2026Horizontal scrolling announcements: Does not sanitise and escape one of its announcement settings before outputting it into an attribute context on the front endCVE-2026-17005 · affects up to 2.6 · reported by WPScanMedium 6.8
The Horizontal scrolling announcements WordPress plugin through 2.6 does not sanitise and escape one of its announcement settings before outputting it into an attribute context on the front end, allowing users granted access to the announcement management page (Contributor and above, once permitted) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in the browser of anyone viewing the announcement.
Aug 5, 2024Horizontal scrolling announcements: SQL InjectionCVE-2023-5000 · affects up to 2.4 · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8
The Horizontal scrolling announcements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the plugin's 'hsas-shortcode' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
