Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

TinyMCE's media plugin is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting in the npm, NuGet and Packagist packages tinymce and TinyMCE, in versions 7.9.3 before 7.9.4 and 8.5.1 before 8.9.3. An attacker who can supply content crafted through the data-mce-object attribute can inject scripts that run before sanitization, affecting users of editors with the media plugin enabled. Upgrade to TinyMCE 7.9.4 or 8.9.3 or later, as no official workaround is available.
