Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions EmbedPress – Embed PDF, Google Docs, Vimeo, Wistia, Embed YouTube Videos, Audios, Maps & Embed Any Documents in Gutenberg & Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.9.14

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Youtube block 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, 3.9.14, update to a version higher than 3.9.14 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Youtube block in the plugin to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to trusted users only.
