Synopsis

MediaElement.js < 2.11.2 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, MediaElement.js is prior to 2.11.2. Therefore, it may be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in flashmediaelement.swf allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the file parameter.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MediaElement.js version 2.11.2 or later.
