DescriptionCVE.org

The Prime Elementor Addons - Lightweight Elementor Widgets for Faster Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Widget HTML Tag Settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 injected page. The exploit succeeds even for users without the unfiltered_html capability because the payload (e.g., 'img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)') contains no HTML angle brackets and therefore passes through Elementor's wp_kses_post() filter unchanged at save time.

AnalysisAI

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Prime Elementor Addons for WordPress (all versions through 1.3.3) allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access to persist malicious scripts in widget HTML Tag settings that execute in any visitor's browser on page load. The vulnerability is notable for a specific filter bypass: payloads crafted without HTML angle brackets (e.g., 'img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)') pass unmodified through Elementor's wp_kses_post() sanitization at save time, meaning even users lacking the unfiltered_html capability can inject effective XSS. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Authentication as a WordPress contributor (or higher role) is required, confirmed by CVSS PR:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.4 (Medium) score is derived from a vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who holds or obtains a WordPress contributor account navigates to the page/post editor, inserts a Prime Elementor Addons widget (such as InfoBox or CallToAction), and sets the HTML Tag field to a value like 'img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)' - a string containing no angle brackets that passes through wp_kses_post() unchallenged. Once the page is published or saved as a draft and later viewed by an administrator or site visitor, the injected event handler fires in the victim's browser, enabling session cookie theft, credential harvesting via fake login overlays, or redirection to attacker-controlled infrastructure. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been confirmed in the available data - the advisory identifies all versions through 1.3.3 as vulnerable with no fixed release cited. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
