The vulnerability exists in the plugin's wppb-embed shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes (NVD CVE).

The vulnerability affects authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher, who can inject arbitrary web scripts through the plugin's wppb-embed shortcode (NVD CVE).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to client-side attacks and data theft (NVD CVE).
