Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Video.js WordPress plugin versions through 4.5.0

Description The issue concerns the Video.js WordPress plugin, which does not properly validate and escape certain shortcode attributes before outputting them in a page or post where the shortcode is embedded. This could allow users with the contributor role or higher to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Recommendations For Video.js WordPress plugin versions through 4.5.0, update to a version higher than 4.5.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of shortcodes by users with the contributor role and above until a patch is available.
