AI-suggested
Users should consider disabling the 'Parse Vimeo and YouTube links' option as a temporary mitigation to prevent exploitation. Additionally, site administrators should carefully moderate and approve comments to avoid approving malicious content. Monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates regarding an official fix.
Description
The FV Flowplayer Video Player WordPress plugin is affected by a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 7.5.56.7212. The flaw arises from insufficient sanitization and escaping of the 'comment' parameter when the 'Parse Vimeo and YouTube links' option is enabled. An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts via comments that, once approved, execute in the browsers of site visitors.
