What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via data attribute in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or higher, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Exclusive Addons for Elementor versions 2.6.9 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session data or performing actions on their behalf. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the flaw propagates.
