If you cannot patch yet, restrict administrative access to trusted users only and monitor plugin updates for a security patch addressing this issue.

Description

The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking WordPress plugin before 5.1.5 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
