What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Move Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's infobox and button widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9 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. CVE-2024-29920 may be a duplicate of this issue.
