Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions EmbedPress plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 3.9.16

The injected scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For EmbedPress plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 3.9.16, update to a version higher than 3.9.16 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the id parameter in the affected plugin to minimize the risk of exploitation.
