This vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the Orbit Fox WordPress plugin versions below 3.0.9. It allows users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into web pages by exploiting improper validation of HTML tag names in the Beaver Builder Pricing Table Widget. The injected scripts execute when visitors view the affected page.
