What the vulnerability does
The Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's widgets in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Addon Elements for Elementor versions up to 1.13.2 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts into the plugin's data, which execute in the browsers of other site visitors or administrators. This allows attackers to steal session tokens, modify page content, or perform actions on behalf of other users.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers and steal their session data or modify site content.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors and admins may have their sessions hijacked or see malicious content injected into pages.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege WordPress account (e.g., subscriber or contributor role).
