CWE ID 79

Summary

CVE-2023-4962 is a vulnerability affecting the Video PopUp plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.1.3. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'video_popup' shortcode, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The issue arises due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. To remediate this vulnerability, users should update the plugin to a version beyond 1.1.3 when available. The potential danger this vulnerability poses to organizations is that it enables attackers to execute malicious scripts whenever a user accesses an injected page, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of the affected WordPress site.
