What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Advanced iFrame plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'additional' parameter in version less than, or equal to, 2025.6 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.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Advanced iFrame versions up to 2025.6 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. An attacker with low-level site access can craft malicious input that executes in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session tokens or performing actions on their behalf. The vulnerability requires an authenticated account but no user interaction from the victim.
