Description

The EmbedPress – Embed PDF, Google Docs, Vimeo, Wistia, Embed YouTube Videos, Audios, Maps & Embed Any Documents in Gutenberg & Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the EmbedPress widget 'embedpress_pro_twitch_theme ' attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
