# Lazy Load for Videos WordPress plugin: stored XSS through version 2.18.11

The Lazy Load for Videos WordPress plugin by Kevin Weber does not neutralize input before writing it into web pages, which allows stored cross-site scripting. An attacker who can supply content the plugin later renders can run JavaScript in other users' browsers.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed version of the plugin named `lazy-load-for-videos` in the WordPress admin under Plugins, or with `wp plugin get lazy-load-for-videos --field=version`
- Compare the result against `2.18.11`; anything at or below that version is in the stated range

## Fix

- unknown: the sources do not name a fixed version; check the plugin's changelog or the WordPress.org plugin page for the first release after `2.18.11`
- Until a fixed release is installed, deactivate the plugin if video lazy loading is not essential
