Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Target Video Easy Publish plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.8.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. The width parameter is specifically vulnerable to this type of attack.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.8.5, update to a version that includes proper input sanitization and output escaping for the width parameter to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the width parameter in the plugin to minimize the risk of exploitation.
