Video Share VOD WordPress Plugin Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Video Share VOD WordPress plugin, specifically in versions through 2.6.31. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the 'videowhisper_videos' shortcode. As a result, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which will execute when a user accesses the compromised page.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the affected page.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Video Share VOD WordPress plugin to version 2.6.32 or a newer patched version.
