MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at least low-privilege access sufficient to edit content using the Media Player widget (PR:L), and the stored payload only triggers when another user - typically a higher-privileged administrator or editor - views the affected page (UI:R). It applies to the Media Player Addons for Elementor - Media Player widget plugin from unspecified early versions through 1.1.10, and implicitly requires the Elementor page builder environment in which this add-on operates. Limiting factors: the attacker cannot act without a valid authenticated account, and no automatic/remote-unauthenticated path exists; the impact depends on a privileged victim rendering the injected content. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity stored Cross-Site Scripting flaw (CVSS 6.5) in the bPlugins 'Media Player Addons for Elementor' WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.1.10. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) describes a network-reachable but not fully unauthenticated issue: PR:L means an attacker needs at least low-privilege authenticated access (typically a contributor/author-level account able to use the widget), and UI:R means a victim must view the page for the stored payload to fire. The scope change (S:C) reflects that the injected script executes in the browser of another user (e.g. an administrator), which is why Patchstack treats this as more than a self-XSS. No CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score are present in the supplied data, and no proof-of-concept or exploit reference is provided - only a Patchstack database advisory link. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', indicating a routine-but-not-emergency priority. On balance this is a real but low-to-moderate priority issue: the dual authentication-plus-interaction requirement and the limited (Low) confidentiality/integrity/availability impacts constrain real-world risk, and there is no evidence of active exploitation. Note that the A:L (availability) impact is atypical for stored XSS and appears to follow Patchstack's scoring convention rather than a described availability effect - treat it with caution. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user holding a low-privilege authenticated role (such as a contributor or author) that can configure the Media Player widget injects a malicious script into a widget field, which is stored unsanitized. When a higher-privileged user such as an administrator later views the affected page or post, the script executes in their authenticated browser session, potentially enabling account takeover or privileged actions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires both the attacker's authenticated access and victim interaction. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the bPlugins 'Media Player Addons for Elementor - Media Player widget for WP' WordPress plugin, affecting every version through 1.1.10, allows an authenticated user with low privileges to persist script payloads that execute in another user's browser session. Exploitation requires a valid WordPress account able to edit content that uses the Media Player widget (PR:L), and the payload only fires when a victim, typically a higher-privileged administrator or editor, renders the affected page (UI:R); the scope change reflects the payload running in the victim's security context. No CISA KEV entry or working exploit code is associated with this CVE in the available data, and the sole reference is the Patchstack vulnerability database entry; the trigger specifics are not described in the available sources.
RemediationAI
The supplied data does not identify a vendor-released fixed version, so check the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/media-player-addons-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-media-player-addons-for-elementor-media-player-widget-for-wp-plugin-1-1-10-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for an updated release and upgrade as soon as one is published; if no update is available, deactivating and removing the Media Player Addons plugin eliminates exposure at the cost of losing the media player widget functionality. Because exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account that can author content with the widget (PR:L) and succeeds only when a privileged user views the injected page (UI:R), the practical interim control is to restrict who may create or edit content containing the Media Player widget to trusted roles and to review existing widget content for injected markup, accepting that this narrows the authoring workflow rather than fixing the underlying encoding defect. Applying a Content Security Policy that blocks inline script execution can reduce payload impact but may break legitimate site scripts and requires careful testing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), the classic stored/persistent cross-site scripting class, in a WordPress plugin that supplies an Elementor page-builder widget for embedding media players. The plugin accepts widget content that is later emitted into generated pages without adequate encoding or sanitization, so markup stored by a content author is re-rendered to other users. Because the vulnerable code path is only reachable inside the Elementor environment in which this add-on operates, the effective attack surface is sites running both Elementor and this widget plugin up to and including 1.1.10, matching CPE cpe:2.3:a:bplugins:media_player_addons_for_elementor_-_media_player_widget_for_wp. The CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N confirms a network-reachable, low-complexity issue that requires an authenticated low-privileged account and user interaction by the victim, with changed scope and limited confidentiality and integrity impact; the exact input field and rendering path that fail to neutralize the payload are not described in the available sources.
