Description

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the FV Flowplayer Video Player WordPress plugin before version 7.5.57.7212. The plugin fails to escape shortcode attribute values embedded in comments when rendering them into the media player markup. This allows unauthenticated visitors to store malicious script payloads in comments that execute in the context of any visitor who plays the commented video, including administrators, if the non-default comment-shortcode-parsing setting is enabled.
