Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Michael Dempfle Advanced iFrame allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Advanced iFrame: from n/a through 2023.10.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Advanced iFrame plugin before 2023.10 contains a stored XSS vulnerability where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being rendered in the iframe content, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript that executes when users view the affected page.

MitigationUpdate Advanced iFrame to version 2023.10 or later, which includes proper input validation and output encoding to neutralize XSS vectors.

    Affected if The version found is lower than 2024.0 (e.g., 2023.9, 2023.x, or any version before 2024.0).
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    If using WordPress admin, check the Plugins page to verify Advanced iFrame is activated. Alternatively, check your database wp_options table for active_plugins or advanced_iframe settings.
    Affected if The plugin is activated and configured on the site.
  4. Check for iframe shortcodes or widgets in use
    Search your WordPress posts, pages, and widget areas for [advanced_iframe] shortcode or any custom iframe configurations that pull user-supplied URLs or content.
    Affected if The plugin is actively rendering iframes with configurable source URLs or content parameters.

You are affected if the Advanced iFrame plugin is installed, active, and running a version below 2024.0 while configured to display iframes with user-supplied content.
