PowerPack Elementor Addons Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the PowerPack Elementor Addons (Free Widgets, Extensions and Templates) plugin for WordPress. This issue affects all versions through 2.9.0 and arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the Custom Cursor Extension. The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which are executed when users access the affected pages.

Impact

Remediation

Users are advised to update the PowerPack Elementor Addons plugin to version 2.9.1 or a newer patched version.
