Description
The All-in-One Video Gallery – Video Player & Galleries for YouTube, Vimeo & Self-Hosted Videos plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'more_link' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The All‑in‑One Video Gallery plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that allows an authenticated attacker with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the more_link shortcode attribute. When a page that includes this shortcode is viewed, the injected script runs in the context of the visitor’s browser, creating the possibility of defacement, credential theft, or session hijacking.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in the All‑in‑One Video Gallery – Video Player & Galleries for YouTube, Vimeo & Self‑Hosted Videos WordPress plugin for all versions up to and including 4.9.7. No other products or vendors are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires authenticated access; an attacker with contributor access can submit a malicious value for more_link via the plugin’s short‑code editor and the payload will be stored and later executed whenever the affected page is rendered. The stored nature of the payload means impact persists until the short‑code entry is removed or the plugin is patched.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the All‑in‑One Video Gallery plugin to the latest release that removes the stored XSS flaw.
  • If an immediate upgrade cannot be performed, revoke or limit contributor and higher user roles from creating or editing videos that use the more_link shortcode, or disable the shortcode entirely.
  • As a temporary measure, apply a sanitization filter to the more_link attribute or escape all output before rendering to neutralize any injected scripts.
