Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in modeltheme ModelTheme Addons for WPBakery and Elementor modeltheme-addons-for-wpbakery allows Stored XSS.This issue affects ModelTheme Addons for WPBakery and Elementor: from n/a through < 1.5.6.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in ModelTheme Addons for WPBakery and Elementor plugin for WordPress through version 1.5.5 allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. When a victim, such as an administrator, views the affected page, the injected script executes in their browser, leading to potential session hijacking, credential theft, or site defacement. No active exploitation or public exploit code is known at this time, and EPSS probability is very low (0.04%).
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability exists in the ModelTheme Addons for WPBakery and Elementor WordPress plugin (slug: modeltheme-addons-for-wpbakery), which extends page builder functionality. The root cause is improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79), failing to sanitize data before storing and later outputting it without escaping. The affected component likely handles content elements or settings where authenticated users can inject malicious JavaScript, which is then rendered unsanitized on the frontend for other users.
Affected ProductsAI
ModelTheme Addons for WPBakery and Elementor (modeltheme-addons-for-wpbakery) all versions before 1.5.6. The fixed version 1.5.6 addresses this vulnerability. More details are available in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/modeltheme-addons-for-wpbakery/vulnerability/wordpress-modeltheme-addons-for-wpbakery-and-elementor-plugin-1-5-6-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.
RemediationAI
Update the ModelTheme Addons for WPBakery and Elementor plugin to version 1.5.6 or later immediately. If immediate patching is not possible, consider restricting contributor access or disabling the plugin until the update can be applied. Ensure that WordPress core and all themes/plugins are kept up to date to reduce attack surface. There are no effective workarounds short of patching, as eliminating contributor privileges for content creation may not be feasible in typical publishing workflows.
