HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.8.1. The issue arises in the Countdown widget, where inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes allow authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when a user accesses the affected page.

Impact

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

Remediation

Users can update to version 2.8.2 or a newer patched version to address this vulnerability.
