Technical description

The Addon Elements for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 1.14.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on multiple widget parameters. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts via multiple widget parameters in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
