## Summary

The FV Player video plugin for WordPress has a stored cross-site scripting flaw: when the non-default comment shortcode parsing setting is enabled, it does not escape shortcode attributes in comments, so an attacker can plant a script that runs for anyone who plays the commented video. Because that includes administrators, the script can run in an administrator's session.
