Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: what3words Address Field versions n/a through 4.0.15

Description: The issue is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows Stored XSS in the what3words Address Field.

As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the what3words Address Field function until a patch is available.
