CVE-2021-24699
The Easy Media Download WordPress plugin before 1.1.7 does not escape the text argument of its shortcode, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.62%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
