Percentile

The plugin does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)

Put the following payload in the Youtube API Key settings and save: test"><script>alert(/XSS/)</script>.

The XSS will be triggered when viewing the settings page again
