Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Jan 29, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in the brid_override_yt shortcode in Target Video Easy Publish 3.8.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run scripts. The shortcode handler places user-supplied attributes into generated page output without sufficient sanitization or output escaping, so injected JavaScript persists in a post. Contributor-level access is required to plant the payload; the script executes in a visitor's browser whenever the affected page is viewed.
