Affected versions

• Everything up to and including 45.16.2

The Visual Composer Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 45.16.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
