Summary
FV Player 8 for WordPress is affected in all versions up to and including 8.1.7. Insufficient sanitization and output escaping of the synopsis shortcode attribute causes stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79). An attacker with contributor-level access or above can inject scripts that run when users open the page. Unauthenticated visitors can also trigger it when the parse_comments setting is enabled.

Description from the CNA
The FV Player 8 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'synopsis' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 8.1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Unauthenticated visitors can also exploit this vulnerability when the 'Parse Vimeo and YouTube links' (parse_comments) setting is enabled, as this causes the plugin to process shortcodes within comment text.
