Essential Addons Pricing Table title tags permit contributor stored XSS
Essential Addons for Elementor - Lite before 6.6.10 fails to restrict the Pricing Table widget's eael_pricing_table_title_tag setting to valid HTML tag names. A Contributor can use the normal authenticated Elementor action=elementor_ajax save_builder operation on a post they own and place a metacharacter-free value such as an img tag name plus an onerror handler in that setting. The value survives post-save filtering as plain text; esc_html() does not change it, and the renderer later emits it in HTML tag-name position, turning the string into an executable element. The payload runs when an Editor or Administrator previews the pending post and after publication for ordinary visitors. Version 6.6.10 validates the Pricing Table Title Tag setting.

Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Essential Addons for Elementor - Lite to 6.6.10 or later. Review Elementor widget data in posts created by untrusted Contributors for unexpected eael_pricing_table_title_tag values, remove malicious elements, and investigate privileged activity after affected drafts or pages were previewed.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
Technical description
