Description

The ElementsKit Elementor addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the blog post read more button in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Technical Analysis

The ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript via the blog post read more button. This injected code executes in the context of users visiting the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 3.0.4. There is no cloud service involved, and no patch or official remediation guidance has been published yet.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with contributor or higher privileges to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the browsers of users who view those pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires user interaction (visiting the injected page). The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required for the script execution once injected.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the blog post read more button feature in ElementsKit Elementor Addons. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor and apply official patches promptly once released.
