What the vulnerability does
The Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘id’ and 'eae_slider_animation' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.5 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Addon Elements for Elementor versions up to 1.13.5 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 site's scope, meaning impacts may extend beyond the plugin itself.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers when they view affected pages.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors' sessions and data could be compromised if an attacker with low-level access injects malicious content.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege authenticated account (e.g., subscriber or contributor role).
