What the vulnerability does
The Elementor Website Builder Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘button_text’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.29.0 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
Elementor Website Builder Pro versions up to 3.29.0 contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component itself. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 3.29.0 to remediate this issue.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript that affects other users or site functionality.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject scripts affecting other users' sessions or site behavior; scope is changed, so impact may extend beyond the builder.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege account (e.g., contributor or editor role) on the site.
