    Save the file below as embed_allower.php inside the wp-content/plugins directory of your WordPress or WordPress MU and activate it. Feel free to customize as necessary.

    <?php
    /*

    What are the risks then?

    How bad can it turn out to be?

    I've also noticed that when I post on wordpress.com

    and add something like

    ""
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xPbeFSdsTNg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xPbeFSdsTNg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
    ""

    WP automatically updates it to:

    ""
    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPbeFSdsTNg&hl=en&fs=1]
    ""

    Any idea what plugin do they use?

    Something they wrote themselves probably.

    The proposed solution is also available on wpmudev.org/project/Allow-Embedded-Videos

    So are there any known issues with the security?

    Cheers!
