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, 3.9.10

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the PDF Widget URL 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, 3.9.10, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the PDF Widget URL to minimize the risk of exploitation.
