What the vulnerability does
The ElementsKit Elementor addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Image Comparison Widget in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
ElementsKit Elementor Addons versions 3.2.9 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other site visitors, including administrators. The vulnerability affects the scope beyond the vulnerable component itself, potentially compromising site security and user data.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers when they view affected pages.
Potential impact on your site
Attackers with basic user accounts can inject code that steals admin credentials, deface content, or compromise visitor browsers.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege account on the site (e.g., subscriber or contributor role).
