What the vulnerability does
The JetWidgets For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via REST API SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.18 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
JetWidgets For Elementor versions up to 1.0.18 contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component itself. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 1.0.18 to remediate this issue.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers and affect site functionality.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject scripts affecting other users and site operations; update immediately.
Conditions required to exploit
