Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Ryan Burnette Video Embeds allows Stored XSS. This issue affects Video Embeds: from n/a through 0.1.1.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in Video Embeds WordPress plugin up to version 0.1.1 allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into video embed pages. When an administrator views the injected content, the script executes, potentially leading to session hijacking or defacement. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in the Video Embeds WordPress plugin, which allows users to embed videos via shortcodes or blocks. The plugin fails to sanitize user-supplied input before storing it in the database and later rendering it in web pages. CWE-79 describes improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The affected component is likely the shortcode or block handler that processes video URLs or parameters. The CPE for the plugin is not provided, but the affected versions are all versions up to and including 0.1.1.
RemediationAI
Update the Video Embeds plugin to version 0.1.2 or later, which contains the fix. As a workaround, restrict the ability to create or edit posts to trusted users only, and consider using a web application firewall (WAF) to filter XSS payloads.
