Easy Elementor Addons Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Easy Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 2.2.8. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in several widget parameters. This 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

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, an authenticated user with contributor-level access or higher can inject scripts through various widget parameters that lack proper sanitization and escaping. Once the scripts are injected, they will be executed when the page is viewed by any user.

Remediation

No known patch is available. It is recommended to uninstall the affected plugin and find a replacement.
