Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Connatix Video Embed plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.5
Description
The Connatix Video Embed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'cnx script code' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This makes it possible for 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, 1.0.5, update the Connatix Video Embed plugin for WordPress to a version later than 1.0.5 to mitigate the risk of Stored Cross-Site Scripting.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
cnx script code shortcode until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
