The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in its Filterable Gallery and Interactive Circle widgets. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject malicious scripts via user-supplied attributes. These scripts execute in the context of any user who views the compromised pages. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level. No patch or official fix has been documented in the available data.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject and store malicious scripts in pages generated by the plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. Since the attacker must have contributor-level access, the risk is mitigated somewhat by WordPress role restrictions.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the affected Filterable Gallery and Interactive Circle widgets. Monitor for plugin updates from wpdevteam and apply them promptly once available.
