The HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in its Tooltip & Popover Widget. This flaw allows authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary JavaScript code due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.5.0. Exploitation results in script execution in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side impacts. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable widget. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling further attacks such as session hijacking. The vulnerability does not impact 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 available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Tooltip & Popover Widget if feasible. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
