AI-suggested

Users should restrict contributor-level access carefully and consider removing or disabling the Text Styler plugin until a fix is available. Monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates and apply any forthcoming patches promptly. Avoid granting contributor or higher privileges to untrusted users.

Description

The Text Styler WordPress plugin through 1.1.1 does not sanitise and escape user-supplied styling values before outputting them within a front-end style block, and does not verify that a user may edit the target post, allowing users with contributor-level access or above to store JavaScript that executes in the browser of anyone viewing the affected post, including administrators.
