Essential Addons For Elementor Popular Elementor Templates Widgets
Monthly
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 6.6.11) allows authenticated contributors to inject persistent JavaScript payloads via the Fancy Text Widget, executing in any visitor's browser upon page load. Source code analysis confirms two distinct sink defects: the bundled Morphext library used unsafe `innerHTML` assignment for both phrase text and animation class names, and the widget's transition-type parameter was passed unsanitized to Morphext as a CSS class token without allowlist validation. No active exploitation is confirmed by CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; however, the scope-change (S:C) CVSS vector and contributor-accessible attack surface make this a credible risk on multi-author WordPress deployments.
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (all versions through 6.6.11) allows authenticated contributors to persist malicious JavaScript via the Reading Progress Global Color Settings feature, executing against any user who subsequently visits an affected page. The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization in the plugin's Elements and Core traits, with a scope change (S:C) meaning impact extends beyond the plugin itself to victim browser sessions. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced in available intelligence.
Authenticated account takeover in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 6.6.10) lets a Contributor-or-above user inject a Bcc header into WordPress's administrator password-reset email via the plugin's Login/Register widget, capturing a valid admin reset link and seizing the site. The flaw stems from an email-header (CRLF) injection where the allowed-values check is enforced only in the browser editor, not server-side. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; the vendor fixed it in version 6.6.11.
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Essential Addons for Elementor (versions up to and including 6.6.2) allows authenticated WordPress users with Author-level access or higher to inject persistent malicious JavaScript via event titles rendered through the Event Calendar widget. The injected payload executes in the browsers of any user who visits the affected page, with scope change confirmed by the CVSS:3.1 S:C designation. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the authentication barrier is low on sites that permit contributor or author registration.
Information exposure in Essential Addons for Elementor (all versions ≤ 6.6.4) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract content from password-protected, private, and draft WordPress posts via the plugin's ajax_load_more AJAX endpoint. The root cause (CWE-639) is that user-controlled query parameters are accepted without enforcing WordPress native post-visibility access controls, bypassing the platform's built-in confidentiality model. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the zero-authentication, zero-complexity attack surface on one of the most widely deployed Elementor add-ons makes this a realistic target for automated scanning campaigns.
Privilege escalation in Essential Addons for Elementor (all versions ≤ 6.5.13) allows authenticated WordPress users with Author-level access or above to create new accounts with elevated roles such as Editor by exploiting the plugin's `register_user` function, which applies an incomplete role denylist that blocks only 'administrator' while leaving other privileged roles unguarded. The network-accessible, low-complexity attack vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) makes this realistic for any site with the plugin's registration widget exposed and populated with low-trust authors. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and CISA KEV status is absent, but the plugin's broad WordPress deployment increases aggregate exposure.
