Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the EmbedPress – PDF Embedder, Embed PDF viewer, YouTube Videos, 3D FlipBook, Social feeds & more plugin for WordPress. It is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that occurs via the block 'url' attribute in all versions up to and including 4.5.3.

These injected scripts execute whenever any user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to malicious actions.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow attackers with contributor-level access or above to inject malicious scripts into web pages. When other users visit these pages, the scripts execute in their browsers, which can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious activities.

Because the attack is stored, the malicious code persists on the site and affects all users who view the infected pages, increasing the potential impact.
