What the vulnerability does
The Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Twitter Widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.3 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 1.13.3 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts into the plugin's data fields. When other users view the affected content, the scripts execute in their browsers, potentially compromising their accounts or stealing sensitive information.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the page.
Potential impact on your site
