What the vulnerability does
The Clever Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the CAFE Icon, CAFE Team Member, and CAFE Slider widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Clever Addons for Elementor versions 2.1.9 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 data. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the plugin processes user input.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers and steal their session data or perform actions on their behalf.
Potential impact on your site
