Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Tim Strifler Exclusive Addons Elementor allows Stored XSS.
This issue affects Exclusive Addons Elementor: from n/a through 2.7.9.8.
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Exclusive Addons Elementor WordPress plugin (versions through 2.7.9.8) allows authenticated low-privileged users to inject persistent malicious scripts into Elementor widgets that execute in the browsers of site visitors and administrators. The scope change (S:C in the CVSS vector) indicates the injected payload escapes the attacker's context and affects other users, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or privilege escalation to admin. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a WordPress account with at minimum Contributor-level role permissions, which allows saving Elementor draft content without publishing - this is the PR:L condition reflected in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L reflects a realistic stored XSS profile: network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring low-level authentication (PR:L) and victim interaction (UI:R). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers or compromises a contributor-level WordPress account on a site running Exclusive Addons Elementor 2.7.9.8 or earlier, then edits or creates an Elementor page embedding a malicious JavaScript payload within a vulnerable widget field. When a site administrator browses to that page to review or approve content, the stored script executes silently in their browser session, potentially exfiltrating their authentication cookies to an attacker-controlled server and enabling full administrative account takeover. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to update the Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin to a version above 2.7.9.8 via the WordPress admin dashboard or WP-CLI. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
