Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in WPDeveloper Essential Addons for Elementor essential-addons-for-elementor-lite allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Essential Addons for Elementor: from n/a through 6.8.4.

Stored cross-site scripting in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (all versions through 6.8.4) allows an authenticated user holding at least contributor- or editor-level privileges to persist malicious JavaScript through plugin widget content, which then executes in the browser of any visitor or administrator who views the affected page (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 6.5, per Patchstack). Because the injected script runs in the context of the victim's session and the vulnerability scope changes (S:C), an attacker can potentially act with the victim's privileges against the site, though exploitation requires both a valid low-privilege account and a victim who subsequently loads the poisoned content. …
