Custom Titles, Enhanced Security, and More

We are announcing the release of Mux Video Uploader by 2Coders v1.1.3! This update includes new features, performance improvements, and major security enhancements to provide you with a more powerful and secure video experience in WordPress.

Here is what is new:

What’s New in v1.1.3?

This release focuses on providing more control over your video assets and improving the overall user experience:

• Custom Video Titles: You can now add a custom title when uploading a new video.
• Edit Existing Titles: Easily modify or add titles to videos already in your Asset List.
• Enhanced Video Search: Quickly find videos by searching for a title or ID in the Asset List.
• Performance Boost: We’ve optimized the performance when loading the Gutenberg Mux block.
• Improved Compatibility: The plugin is now fully compatible with the latest WordPress version (6.x).
• Smarter JWT Token Handling: We’ve enhanced the JWT token generation logic to prevent expiration during editing, fixing the “Invalid playback URL” issue.

These updates directly address a common challenge: managing a growing library of video assets. Previously, finding a specific video might have meant scrolling through thumbnails or trying to remember a Mux Asset ID. With the introduction of custom titles and a searchable asset list, you can now organize your content more effectively. This allows you to locate the exact video you need in seconds, simply by searching for its title, significantly speeding up your content management workflow.

🔒 Security First!

This version delivers major security hardening based on our latest security audit. We are committed to keeping your site and your data safe. Here are some of the key security improvements:

• CSRF Protection: All 32 endpoints now have nonce verification for 100% CSRF protection.
• Public Access Restrictions: We’ve removed 5 unnecessary wp_ajax_nopriv hooks for sensitive actions.
• SQL Injection Prevention: All queries now use $wpdb->prepare() with sanitized inputs to prevent SQL injection attacks.
• XSS Protection: We’ve implemented consistent escaping and sanitization across all user inputs and outputs to protect against cross-site scripting (XSS).
• Enhanced Capability Checks: Critical functions are now restricted to appropriate user roles.
• Secure File Uploads: We’ve added server-side validation for MIME types, extensions, and file sizes.

🔧 Other Changes

We’ve also made several other improvements under the hood, including refactoring internal functions for better code maintainability and updating the plugin’s README documentation.
