CVE-2022-2936Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped Video Link values

Published Sep 6, 2022 · Updated Feb 7, 2025

Stored XSS in Oxilab Image Hover Effects Ultimate 9.7.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via Video Link values. The Image Hover editor accepts Video Link input without sufficient sanitization and later renders it without adequate output escaping, preserving attacker-controlled script in generated pages. Editing is administrator-only by default; lower-privileged accounts can exploit the flaw only when the Who Can Edit setting grants plugin access, and the script runs when a user visits the injected page.
