Unlimited Elements For Elementor Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.5.135. The vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes across multiple widgets. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into pages, which are executed when users access the affected pages. To apply the patch, the impacted widgets must be manually deleted and reinstalled.

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 1.5.136 or a newer patched version. After updating, the affected widgets: Image Tooltip, Notification, Simple Popup, Video Play Button, and Card Carousel, must be deleted and reinstalled manually.
