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

Description The issue arises from the EmbedPress WordPress plugin not sanitizing and escaping a parameter before outputting it back in the page containing specific content. This leads to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue, which could be exploited against high-privilege users such as administrators.

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 until the update is applied.
