Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
A persistent cross site scripting web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official Levo-Slideshow v2.3 wordpress plugin.  
The client-side validation issue allows remote attacker to inject client-side script codes to compromise browser to application requests.  
  
The vulnerability is located in the `image_description`parameter of the `Lenvo Image Upload` module. Remote attackers are able to inject   
client-side script code. The `image_description` value is wrong encoded and not filtered by the regular validation. The attack vector of   
the issue is client-side and the request method to execute is GET.  
  
The security risk of the client-side vulnerabilities is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 2.5.   
Exploitation of the security vulnerability requires no a privileged web-application user account and low user interaction.   
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing, non-persistent external redirects,   
non-persistent load of malicious script codes or non-persistent web module context manipulation.  
  
Request Method(s):  
[+] POST  
  
Vulnerable Input(s):  
[+] Image Title  
[+] Image Description  
  
Affected Module(s):  
[+] Edit Post  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The persistent cross site scripting vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without user interaction and with an uprivileged application user account.
