Summary

CVE-2023-48300 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Embed Privacy plugin for WordPress. This plugin, designed to prevent the loading of external content, is vulnerable due to insufficient sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the `embed_privacy_opt_out` shortcode.
