What the vulnerability does
The Responsive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.1 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Responsive Addons for Elementor versions 2.0.1 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other site visitors, including administrators. The vulnerability affects the site's scope, meaning injected code can impact functionality across multiple pages or components.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers, potentially stealing credentials or performing actions on their behalf.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject persistent malicious code affecting all site visitors, including admins. Requires immediate patching to prevent account compromise.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account (e.g., subscriber or contributor) on the site.
