Descriptions

The EmbedPress – Embed PDF, YouTube, Google Docs, Vimeo, Wistia Videos, Audios, Maps & Any Documents in Gutenberg & Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's embed_oembed_html shortcode in all versions up to 3.9.5 (exclusive) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

EmbedPress – Embed PDF, YouTube, Google Docs, Vimeo, Wistia Videos, Audios, Maps &amp; Any Documents in Gutenberg &amp; Elementor plugin for WordPress es vulnerable a cross site scripting almacenado a través del código corto embed_oembed_html del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 3.9.5 (exclusivo) debido a una sanitización insuficiente de las entradas y a que la salida se escape en los atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con permisos de nivel de colaborador y superiores inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
