Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions RSS Feed Widget plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.9.9

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's rfw-youtube-videos shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.9.9, update to a version higher than 2.9.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the rfw-youtube-videos shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
