Product: Element Pack – Widgets, Templates & Addons for Elementor

The Element Pack Elementor Addons (Header Footer, Free Template Library, Grid, Carousel, Table, Parallax Animation, Register Form, Twitter Grid) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the image URL parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

The Element Pack Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the image URL parameter. This allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 5.3.2. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages. This can lead to the theft of sensitive information such as session tokens or other client-side data. The vulnerability does not impact availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent. The CVSS vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and scope change.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict contributor and higher access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected plugin. Monitor official bdthemes channels for updates and apply any official fixes promptly once released.
