Description

The WP YouTube Lyte WordPress plugin before 1.7.16 did not sanitise or escape its lyte_yt_api_key and lyte_notification settings before outputting them back in the page, allowing high privilege users to set XSS payload on them and leading to stored Cross-Site Scripting issues.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • Unknown WP YouTube Lyte — From 1.7.16 (including) to 1.7.16 (excluding)
  • wp_youtube_lyte_project wp_youtube_lyte — Before 1.7.16
