The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in its Data Table widget due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This vulnerability impacts all versions up to and including 5.9.9. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts into pages via the Data Table widget. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim user. The vulnerability does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Data Table widget in the Essential Addons for Elementor plugin. Monitor official channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
