Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions EmbedPress – Embed PDF, YouTube, Google Docs, Vimeo, Wistia Videos, Audios, Maps & Any Documents in Gutenberg & Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.9.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Google Calendar Widget Link due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.9.8, update to a version higher than 3.9.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Google Calendar Widget Link until a patch is available. Restrict contributor-level and above permissions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
