What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.33 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 and edits an injected element, and subsequently clicks the element with the mouse scroll wheel.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers when they view affected content.
