AI-suggested

Upgrade the Video Player for YouTube plugin to version 2.1.4 or later, where proper capability checks on the player-preset AJAX handler have been implemented to prevent unauthorized read, modify, and delete actions.

Description

The Video Player for YouTube WordPress plugin versions before 2.1.4 have an improper access control vulnerability. Specifically, versions before 2.1.4 do not perform capability checks on the player-preset AJAX handler, allowing users with Contributor role and above to read the site-wide player-preset configuration. Versions before 2.1.1 also allow these users to modify and delete the configuration.
