The VikWidgetsLoader WordPress plugin before 1.12.3 does not sanitise or escape several block attributes before outputting them inside HTML attributes, allowing users with the Contributor role to store arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the browser of any user viewing the affected post, including the administrator or editor who reviews the pending submission.
