Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions EmbedPress WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.9.2

Description The issue is related to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting problem. It occurs because the EmbedPress WordPress plugin does not properly sanitise and escape user input before outputting it back in the page. This could be used against high privilege users such as admin.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.9.2, update to version 3.9.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
