What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Medical Addon for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Typewriter widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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 stealing session tokens or performing actions on their behalf.
