What the vulnerability does
The Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization in the countdown widget's redirect functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary JavaScript that will execute when an administrator or other user views the page containing the malicious countdown element.
