VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Newsletters plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.9.9.4
Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's newsletters video 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.
