AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress contains a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Image Accordion widget in versions up to 3.0.5. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user who accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact. No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts into pages via the Image Accordion widget. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the affected site context. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
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 avoiding use of the Image Accordion widget in ElementsKit Elementor Addons. Monitor for vendor updates and apply patches promptly once released.
