Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Videojs HTML5 Player plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.11

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's videojs video shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.1.11, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the videojs video shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the videojs video shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
