Summary

CVE-2024-2128 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the EmbedPress plugin for WordPress, specifically versions 3.9.10 and below. This issue stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's embed widget. Consequently, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts, which are then executed whenever a user visits an injected page, posing a significant security risk.
