Summary
The Themify Builder plugin for WordPress is affected, specifically its Custom Fonts feature. Authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher can store malicious scripts that run in the browsers of users who view the Custom Fonts admin listing, which could let attackers hijack sessions or act on behalf of administrators.

Read the original description
The Themify Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'variations' repeater field of Custom Font (tb_cf) posts in versions up to, and including, 7.8.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the variations post meta: Themify_Metabox::_save_meta() only passes the value through wp_kses_data() when the field type is 'textbox' or 'textarea', so the 'repeater' field writes attacker-controlled sub-fields (style, woff/woff2/ttf/svg/eot URLs) to update_post_meta() verbatim, and Themify_Custom_Fonts::render_columns() later echoes those values unescaped inside a <style> block on the Custom Fonts admin listing. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page (specifically, the Custom Fonts admin listing).
