CVE-2021-24196
The Social Slider Widget WordPress plugin before 1.8.5 allowed Authenticated Reflected XSS in the plugin settings page as the ‘token_error’ parameter can be controlled by users and it is directly echoed without being sanitized
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.68%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
