What the vulnerability does
The Global Elementor Buttons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the button link URL in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0 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.

An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts into button content that execute in the browsers of other site visitors. The vulnerability affects the scope beyond the vulnerable component, potentially compromising site security and user data.
