3DescriptionCVE.org
The X Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Youtube Video ID field in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.14. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the Youtube Video ID parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an affected page.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the X Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts via the Youtube Video ID field. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0.14, and no public exploit or active exploitation evidence has been identified at this time.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the X Addons for Elementor plugin, which extends the Elementor page builder for WordPress. The affected widget (xa-hero) fails to properly sanitize and escape the Youtube Video ID input parameter, enabling stored XSS (CWE-79). The plugin's CPE is not directly provided but the affected software is identifiable via the WordPress plugin repository. The root cause is insufficient input validation and output escaping, allowing arbitrary script injection.
RemediationAI
Update to version 1.0.15 or later, which contains the fix as seen in the changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3375643/. As a workaround, restrict contributor-level accounts to only trusted users or disable the vulnerable X Addons Elementor widget if it is not essential. Note that disabling the widget may affect page layout functionality.
