What the vulnerability does
The Borderless – Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘title’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1 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.

An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other site visitors, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing data. The vulnerability affects the site scope, meaning the injected script can interact with other parts of the WordPress site.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in other users' browsers and affects other parts of the site.
Potential impact on your site
