What the vulnerability does
The Stratum – Elementor Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘label_years’ attribute within the Countdown widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.1 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.

Stratum Widgets for Elementor versions up to 1.4.1 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning injected code can affect other users and site functionality. An attacker with low-level access can craft malicious input that executes in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session data or performing actions on their behalf.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in other users' browsers and affects site functionality.
Potential impact on your site
