Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions EmbedPress plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.9.12

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the EmbedPress widget 'embedpress pro twitch theme' attribute. 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, 3.9.12, update to a version higher than 3.9.12 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the EmbedPress widget 'embedpress pro twitch theme' attribute to minimize the risk of exploitation.
