What the vulnerability does
The Elementor ImageBox plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the image box widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.8 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
Elementor ImageBox versions up to 1.2.8 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts into image box 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.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers when they view affected content.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors may have their sessions hijacked, credentials stolen, or be redirected to malicious sites when viewing pages with compromised image boxes.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege authenticated account on the site; no user interaction required.
