## Description

The Futurio Extra plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Writing Effect Headline Elementor widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.25 due to insufficient validation of the HTML tag setting and missing sanitization of the before, written and after text settings in the widget's editor template. 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 opens the affected page in the Elementor editor.
