Until a patch is available, restrict Contributor-level access carefully and consider removing or limiting use of the custom JS field in the plugin. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply any released fixes promptly.
Description
The Ghost Kit – Page Builder Blocks, Motion Effects & Extensions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the custom JS field in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
