Upstream source description

The Divi WordPress theme before 5.9.0 does not properly escape some of its Social Media Follow module settings before outputting them in link attributes, allowing users with a role as low as contributor to store JavaScript which will run when a higher privileged user, such as an administrator, views the post.
