On this page
The Dynific Addons for Elementor (formerly Anywhere Elementor) WordPress plugin before 1.3.1 does not escape a user-controlled profile value before outputting it in a quoted attribute in one of its Elementor widgets, allowing authenticated users with the Author role to store a payload that executes in the session of anyone, including an administrator, who views a post the attacker authored, resulting in Stored Cross-Site Scripting.
