Summary
CVE-2024-1802: The EmbedPress plugin for WordPress, used for embedding PDFs, Google Docs, and videos among other content, is found to have a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This issue, present in all versions up to 3.9.10, arises due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied URLs in the Wistia embed block. Consequently, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above can inject arbitrary web scripts, leading to the execution of malicious code whenever a user visits an injected page.
