Description The plugin does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)

PoC

1. In the widget area, add the widget β€œHL Twitter” 2. For the β€œTitle” enter the payload "&gt; 3. Save the widget and view the frontend to see the XSS
