MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an attacker to hold a WordPress account with sufficient privileges to submit/store content through the FV Flowplayer Video Player plugin (per CVSS PR:L), and requires a second user - typically a higher-privileged admin or editor - to subsequently view the page or admin view where the stored payload renders (per UI:R). The affected products are all FV Flowplayer Video Player versions from an unspecified start through 7.5.54.7212. Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: the attacker cannot be fully anonymous (no PR:N), the payload does not execute until a victim loads the content, and impact is confined to the browser context of whoever views the malicious content rather than direct server compromise. The exact input field serving as the injection vector is not specified in the available description. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity Stored XSS (CWE-79) in the FolioVision FV Flowplayer Video Player WordPress plugin, rated CVSS 6.5. The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation that nonetheless requires some level of existing privileges (PR:L) to inject the stored payload and victim interaction (UI:R) to trigger it - classic for a stored XSS where a lower-privileged contributor/author injects script that executes when a higher-privileged user (e.g. an admin) renders the affected page. The scope change (S:C) reflects that code executes in the victim's browser context beyond the vulnerable component. On exploitation signals: there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score supplied in the input, and no public exploit is referenced, so active-exploitation and widespread-weaponization indicators are absent. The single source is a Patchstack database entry (the vendor/researcher who reported it), which confirms the vulnerability and affected version range but does not itself establish in-the-wild use. Overall this is a real but not top-priority issue: it depends on an attacker already holding a privileged-enough account AND a victim viewing the malicious content, which materially lowers real-world urgency compared to an unauthenticated RCE. Note one consistency caveat: the input CVSS already encodes PR:L (authenticated), but no vendor advisory beyond Patchstack is available to independently confirm the exact privilege level required - verify against the plugin's changelog. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A registered low-privilege user (such as a contributor or author) submits video-player content containing a crafted script payload that the plugin stores without proper output neutralization. When an administrator or other user later views the page or admin screen rendering that content, the script executes in their authenticated browser session, enabling session/cookie theft or actions performed as the victim. No public proof-of-concept exploit was referenced in the available data; exploitation requires both an attacker-held account and victim interaction per the AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R vector. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 09, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in the FolioVision FV Flowplayer Video Player plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 7.5.54.7212, lets an attacker with sufficient privileges to store content in the plugin (CVSS PR:L) inject JavaScript that later executes in the browser of a second user - typically an administrator or editor - who views the affected page or admin view (CVSS UI:R). Rated CVSS 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, CWE-79), impact is confined to the victim's browser session rather than direct server compromise, and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) was identified at time of analysis. The report originates from Patchstack and the exact input field serving as the injection vector is not specified in the available advisory.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data - 7.5.54.7212 is listed as the last affected release, not a fixed one - so the primary action is to upgrade to the first FV Flowplayer Video Player release published after 7.5.54.7212 once it is available and verified against the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/vulnerability/wordpress-fv-flowplayer-video-player-plugin-7-5-54-7212-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve); until then, treat the plugin as unpatched. Practical compensating controls: restrict who can create or edit content that flows into the plugin's stored fields, since exploitation requires an account with content-submission privileges (PR:L) - removing contributor/author roles from untrusted users shrinks the attack surface but degrades editorial workflows; deactivate and uninstall the plugin if its video-player functionality is not required, accepting the loss of embedded player features; and enforce a strict Content-Security-Policy (script-src without unsafe-inline) to blunt execution of stored payloads, recognizing that this can break legitimate third-party embeds and inline scripts elsewhere on the site. WAF filtering of plugin request parameters offers only partial protection because the payload is stored in the database and rendered later from a legitimate page load, so it does not reliably block delivery to the victim; note also that no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so broad opportunistic scanning is not indicated, but the stored nature of the flaw makes any future patch deployment time-sensitive.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-79, improper neutralization of input during web page generation: the plugin accepts user-supplied content, persists it in the WordPress database, and later renders it into HTML without adequate output escaping or sanitization, so markup supplied by the attacker is interpreted as script by the victim's browser. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:foliovision:fv_flowplayer_video_player:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the FolioVision FV Flowplayer Video Player WordPress plugin as the affected component, spanning all versions up to and including 7.5.54.7212. The assessed vector scores S:C (scope changed) because the injected script executes in the origin of the hosting WordPress site rather than being contained within the vulnerable component, which means the payload can act with the victim's authenticated session - for example issuing privileged admin requests or exfiltrating page data - but it still depends on a stored payload plus a victim subsequently loading the affected page (UI:R). The advisory does not identify the specific parameter or field through which the malicious input is stored, and no authentication bypass is implied: the attacker must already hold a WordPress account able to submit content processed by the plugin (PR:L).
