20266 releases

  1. Code Embed 2.6.4Latest

    • Security: As you’ll have seen from recent releases, there’s been a long stream of reported vulnerabilities. We can probably blame/thank AI for this. So, as a pre-emptive strike against more occurrences, I’ve done a thorough security scan and update. It’s not finished because, as I was working throu…
    • Security: Fixed a reported security vulnerability. Fixing this has meant 2 changes in how the plugin works, which are noted at the top of this README

  2. Code Embed 2.6.3

    • Security: Fixed a stored XSS vulnerability that was reported by pphreak-1001

  3. Code Embed 2.6.2

    • Security: Fixed a vulnerability, reported by an automated security review from WordPress.org

  4. Code Embed 2.6.1

    • Security: Fixed CVE-2026-48093, as reported by manop55555, as the code was vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) through the external URL embed feature in post content.

  5. Code Embed 2.6

    • Enhancement: A massive review of the code means that it now conforms to WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and is more secure and performant than ever before.
    • This is not the end to improvements, however, and expect 2.7 to drop soon with even more quality-of-life enhancements, as well as all the bugs squashed that have been reported to me.

  6. Code Embed 2.5.2

    • Security: Fixed CVE-2026-2512, as reported by Muhammad Yudha via WordFence.

20251 release

  1. Code Embed 2.5.1

    • Security: Changed wp_remote_get to wp_safe_remote_get to improve security.

20242 releases

  1. Code Embed 2.4

    • Security: A vulnerability was reported to me but is actually an issue with Core. I’ve implemented a fix that protects not just this plugin but any others you may have installed. Please read the section in the README titled “Custom Field Security” for more details.
    • Enhancement: Tweaked a few bits of code here. No visible changes, just quality improvements.

  2. Code Embed 2.3.9

    • Enhancement: So, let me tell you a story. To make the output look neat, I was adding carriage returns to the embeds. Except, if you want to embed something partway through a line it can look… well… wrong. And all for it looking clean. Remember, kids, cleanliness isn’t always next to Godliness. Need…
    • Enhancement: While I was at it, I updated some of the settings code to a brand-spanking new version, which I’m sharing across all my plugins.
    • Enhancement: Tidied up some of the assets, including adding a blueprint for WordPress Playground.

20171 release

  1. Code Embed 2.2.2

    • Maintenance: Updated README to work better with new plugin directory format. Also, now converting all text to US English, which is the WordPress standard. Snazzy.
    • Maintenance: Updated all links to artiss.blog and removed donation links. Clickable.
    • Maintenance: Minimum WordPress level is now 4.6 for this plugin, meaning I could remove various pieces of code. Strong and stable.
    • Maintenance: Lots of language updates, many of which are a consequence of the move to WordPress 4.6 (including removal of language files and links, etc.). Verbose.

20151 release

  1. Code Embed 2.1.2

    • Maintenance: Added missing text domain, ready for automatic translation.

20141 release

  1. Code Embed 2.0.2

    • Enhancement: Fixed a minor XSS vulnerability (kindly reported by Mozilla).
    • Enhancement: Shows README appropriate to the current installed version, instead of the latest.

20112 releases

  1. Code Embed 1.6.1

    • Bug: Fixed bug where name of plugin folder was incorrect.

  2. Code Embed 1.5.1

    • Enhancement: Added form security.
