Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.
The EmbedPress – Embed PDF, YouTube, Google Docs, Vimeo, Wistia Videos, Audios, Maps & Any Documents in Gutenberg & Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on the save_source_data() and delete_source_data() functions in all versions up to 3.9.5 (exclusive). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save and delete source data
