What the vulnerability does
The HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Accordion widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
HT Mega Addons for Elementor versions up to 2.4.8 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts into the plugin's widgets or templates. When other users view the affected content, the injected code executes in their browsers, potentially allowing the attacker to steal session tokens, modify page content, or perform actions on behalf of victims.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that executes when other users view the affected page or widget.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors and admins viewing pages with malicious widgets may have their sessions hijacked or be redirected to phishing sites.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account (e.g., contributor or subscriber) on the WordPress site.
