Source record

Technical description

The Master Addons – Elementor Addons with White Label, Free Widgets, Hover Effects, Conditions, & Animations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
