Stored script execution via unsanitized video embed
Published Apr 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in WP Recipe Maker 9.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through the Video Embed field. The recipe sanitizer accepts this field without sufficient input sanitization, while subsequent rendering emits the stored embed content without context-appropriate output escaping. Recipe-dashboard access is required and is administrator-only by default, although sites can assign it to other capabilities; injected code runs in the browsers of users who view an affected page.
