What is CVE-2016-10706?

The Jetpack plugin for WordPress versions prior to 4.0.3 is susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited via a specially crafted Vimeo link. When an unprivileged user submits such a link, the malicious script can execute in the context of the browsing session. This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of the user or exposure of sensitive data. It is critical for users of the Jetpack plugin to upgrade to at least version 4.0.3 to mitigate this risk.
