If you cannot patch yet, restrict Contributor and higher roles from untrusted users and consider disabling or limiting the use of affected shortcodes that output post meta values.

Description

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the JetEngine WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.8.12. This flaw allows users with Contributor role or higher to inject malicious scripts via post meta values that are not properly escaped when output through certain shortcodes. The injected scripts execute in the context of higher-privileged users, such as administrators.
