What the vulnerability does
The Qi Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.1 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.

The vulnerability affects the plugin's handling of user input, enabling attackers with low-level access to compromise other users' sessions or steal sensitive data. The impact extends beyond the plugin itself due to scope change.
