{"id":"CVE-2023-48300","summary":"Embed Privacy missing escaping for show_all attribute in opt-out shortcode","details":"The `Embed Privacy` plugin for WordPress that prevents the loading of embedded external content is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via `embed_privacy_opt_out` shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.8.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Version 1.8.1 contains a patch for this issue.\n","aliases":["GHSA-3wv9-4rvf-w37g"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:08.545857666Z","published":"2023-11-20T18:16:57.455Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-79"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/48xxx/CVE-2023-48300.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://d.pr/v/ORuIat"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/48xxx/CVE-2023-48300.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/epiphyt/embed-privacy/security/advisories/GHSA-3wv9-4rvf-w37g"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-48300"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/epiphyt/embed-privacy/issues/199"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/epiphyt/embed-privacy/commit/f80929992b2a5a66f4f4953cd6f46cc227154a5c"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/epiphyt/embed-privacy","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"f80929992b2a5a66f4f4953cd6f46cc227154a5c"}],"database_specific":{"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:epiph:embed_privacy:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.8.1"}]}}],"versions":["v1.8.0","v1.7.3","v1.7.2","v1.7.1","v1.7.0","v1.6.5","v1.6.4","v1.6.3","v1.6.2","v1.6.1","v1.6.0","v1.5.1","v1.5.0","v1.4.8","v1.4.7","v1.4.6","v1.4.5","v1.4.4","v1.4.3","v1.4.2","v1.4.1","v1.4.0","1.3.6","1.3.5","1.3.4","1.3.3","1.3.2","1.3.1","1.3.0","1.2.2","1.2.1","1.2.0","v1.1.2","v1.1.1","v1.1.0","v1.0.2","v1.0.1","v1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-48300.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"}]}
