Description
The Kadence Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Advanced Heading block's typed text feature in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.0 due to the front-end script passing the heading's decoded text content to Typed.js without HTML escaping, allowing entity-encoded markup to be reinserted as HTML. 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.
