WordPress · Videos Sync Pdf · CVE-2022-50949
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Videos sync PDF version 1.7.4
**Description**
An authenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts through the plugin options panel. This occurs due to unsanitized input in the `nom`, `pdf`, `mp4`, `webm`, and `ogg` parameters. By using payloads such as autofocus onfocus event handlers, an attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript when administrators view or edit video settings. This is a stored cross-site scripting issue, where the malicious script is permanently stored on the server and executed in the browser of the victim.
**Recommendations**
As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the plugin options panel or avoid modifying the `nom`, `pdf`, `mp4`, `webm`, and `ogg` parameters until a fix is applied.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
