DescriptionCVE.org

The King Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 51.1.81 does not perform an object-level authorization check when importing template content into a page, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to overwrite the Elementor content of arbitrary posts and pages, including those owned by administrators, and to inject JavaScript through a widget setting that is output without escaping, resulting in Stored Cross-Site Scripting that executes in the session of any user who views the affected page.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting and unauthorized content tampering in the King Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (all versions before 51.1.81) allow authenticated users with contributor-level access or above to overwrite the Elementor content of arbitrary posts and pages, including those owned by administrators, because the template-import feature performs no object-level authorization check. A widget setting is written to the page and rendered without escaping, so the injected JavaScript executes in the session of any user who later views the tampered page. …
