What the vulnerability does
The JetWidgets For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘layout_type’ and 'id' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.17 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
JetWidgets For Elementor versions up to 1.0.17 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts into widget content. When other users view the affected page, the scripts execute in their browsers, potentially allowing the attacker to steal session tokens, redirect users, or deface content.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the page, stealing sessions or redirecting visitors.
Potential impact on your site
Any user account—even with minimal permissions—can inject code affecting all site visitors, compromising user sessions and site integrity.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account on the site and network access to the Elementor editor.
