The UltraAddons – Elementor Addons (Header Footer Builder, Custom Font, Custom CSS,Woo Widget, Menu Builder, Anywhere Elementor Shortcode) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widgets in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

CVE-2024-37554 is potentially a duplicate of this.
