What the vulnerability does
The Gum Elementor Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Post Meta widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Gum Addon for Elementor versions 1.3.2 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other site visitors, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing sensitive data. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the addon processes user input.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers when they view affected pages.
Potential impact on your site
