Vulnerability Overview

The Lazy Load for Videos plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via its lazy‑loading handlers in all versions up to, and including, 2.18.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The plugin’s JavaScript registration handlers read the client‑supplied 'data-video-title' and 'href' attributes, decode HTML entities by default, and pass them directly into DOM sinks without any escaping or validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.18.8, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
