Descriptions

The Feeds for YouTube (YouTube video, channel, and gallery plugin) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'youtube-feed' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for 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.

El complemento Feeds for YouTube (YouTube video, channel, and gallery plugin) para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross Site Scripting almacenado a través del código corto 'youtube-feed' del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 2.2.1 incluida debido a una sanitización de entrada y escape de salida insuficientes en los atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
