WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Essential Addons for Elementor – Best Elementor Templates, Widgets, Kits & WooCommerce Builders < 5.9.9 - Contributor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Content Ticker arrow attribute in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
