Browser JavaScript execution via trusted media metadata
Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Cross-site scripting in Udecode Plate 53.0.0 through 53.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript via a crafted document. The useMediaState fast path trusts serialized provider or sourceUrl metadata, bypasses parseMediaUrl protocol checks, and passes a javascript: URL to MediaEmbedElement as an iframe source. Exploitation requires a host application that accepts shared Plate content and a victim who opens it, exposing page data and actions available to the victim session.
