Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Auto iFrame plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the tag parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Author-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, 1.7, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tag parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
