What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Anber Elementor Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the $item['button_link']['url'] parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1 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

02Summary

Anber Elementor Addon versions 1.0.1 and earlier 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 or site functionality beyond the vulnerable component. An attacker with low-level site access can exploit this without user interaction.
