It occurs via the 'atvc_video_play' shortcode in versions up to 2.0.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages, which execute whenever a user views the infected page.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
