MAS Elementor Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability via SVG Uploads

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the MAS Elementor plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.1.7. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into pages. These scripts execute when a user accesses the uploaded SVG file.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the SVG file.

Remediation

Users can update to MAS Elementor version 1.1.8 or later to address this vulnerability.
