The advisory
The Royal Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.7.1070 does not sanitise and escape one of its map widget's size settings before concatenating it into an HTML attribute, allowing users with the Contributor role or above to inject JavaScript that runs in the browser of any user who views the page, including an administrator reviewing a pending submission.
