Stored XSS via unescaped caption shortcode attribute
Published Nov 21, 2025 · Updated Nov 21, 2025
Stored XSS in David Angel AudioTube 0.0.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through the caption attribute. The audiotube shortcode handler places the attacker-controlled caption value into rendered page output without sufficient sanitization or escaping. Contributor-level access is required, and the stored script runs in visitors' browsers whenever they open the affected page, enabling page-context data access and content changes.
