## Description

The Live Composer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Button, Icon and Social module options in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.23, due to insufficient output escaping of values such as the button URL, target, text and icon ID, the social profile links and titles, and the inline SVG markup, which were echoed without escaping or filtering. 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.
