Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Spotify Embed Creator Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2025-9879

What is CVE-2025-9879?

The Spotify Embed Creator plugin for WordPress exposes users to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via its 'spotify' shortcode. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts can execute on pages viewed by other users, leading to potential data compromise or site manipulation.
