What the vulnerability does
The MAS Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7 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
MAS Elementor versions up to 1.1.7 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute in the browsers of other site visitors, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing sensitive data. The vulnerability affects the site's scope, meaning impacts may extend beyond the vulnerable component itself.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers and steal their session data or credentials.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject persistent malicious code affecting all site visitors, risking account compromise and data theft.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege account (e.g., contributor or editor) on the site; no user interaction required.
