## Description

The Really Simple Featured Video for Posts, Pages & WooCommerce Products plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0, due to missing validation of the user-controlled attachment IDs saved as a post's featured video and poster through the Featured Video meta box, the Custom Fields box and the Elementor video widget. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to set any attachment, including media attached to other users' private or draft posts, as the featured video or poster of a post they can edit, and so learn its file URL.
