The Optimole WordPress plugin before 4.2.13 does not escape unrecognized attributes of its video-player block before rendering them onto the block's wrapper element, allowing users with the Author role and above to store an event-handler attribute that executes scripts in the browser of any user, such as an administrator, who views the post.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the Optimole WordPress plugin (versions 4.0.0 through 4.2.12) allows an authenticated user with the WordPress Author role or higher to inject an event-handler attribute into the wrapper element of the plugin's video-player block; because that unrecognized attribute is rendered without escaping, the payload executes in the browser of any higher-privileged user - such as an administrator - who views the crafted post. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the vendor has released Optimole 4.2.13 to fix it. …
