Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions App Embed plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.3.2

Description The issue is related to stored cross-site scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's 'appizy' shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 2.3.2, update to a version higher than 2.3.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'appizy' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
