How to fix

Technical details
Stored DOM-based XSS vulnerability in the 'custom_fields[].value.label' parameter (for the 'track' key) caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the plugin's Plyr/Vidstack player template. Exploitation requires authenticated subscriber access and the site to be configured with Plyr/Vidstack as the player library; the vulnerable innerHTML sink does not exist in the default Video.js template path.
