Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HLS Player plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.10

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's hls player 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, 1.0.10, update to a version higher than 1.0.10 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the hls player shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to trusted users only.
