WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in
PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. ### Impact The issue
allows an authenticated but low-privileged user (like contributor/author)
to execute XSS in the editor. This bypasses the restrictions imposed on
users who do not have the permission to post unfiltered_html. ### Patches
This has been patched in WordPress 5.8, and will be pushed to older
versions via minor releases (automatic updates). It’s strongly recommended
that you keep auto-updates enabled to receive the fix. ### References
