Descriptions

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in videoplayer/autoplay.php in the HTML5 Video Player with Playlist plugin 2.4.0 and earlier for WordPress allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) theme or (2) playlistmod parameter.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades de XSS en videoplayer/autoplay.php en el plugin HTML5 Video Player with Playlist 2.4.0 y anteriores para WordPress permiten a atacantes remotos inyectar secuencias de comandos web o HTML arbitrarios a través del parámetro (1) theme o (2) playlistmod.

The HTML5 Video Player with Playlist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'theme' and 'playlistmod' parameters in videoplayer/autoplay.php in versions up to, and including, 2.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
