How to fix
- Fixed in: 7.5.57.7212
Disable the non-default comment-shortcode-parsing setting in FV Flowplayer configuration until the plugin is updated.
Technical details
The plugin fails to escape shortcode attribute values embedded in comments before rendering them into media player markup, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can store a script payload in a comment; the payload executes in the browser session of any user (including administrators) who plays the commented video. This requires the non-default comment-shortcode-parsing setting to be enabled.
