Technical Analysis

The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Image Settings URL parameters of the Banner, Team Members, and Image Scroll widgets. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. The issue is due to improper input neutralization during web page generation, specifically insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 4.10.21. 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. No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation enables an authenticated contributor or higher to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information and modification of content within the affected website context. There is no indication of availability impact or known active exploitation. The vulnerability compromises confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected widgets (Banner, Team Members, Image Scroll) that accept Image Settings URLs. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
