The Qi Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This flaw exists in the button widgets where user-supplied attributes are not properly sanitized or escaped, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This code executes in the context of any user who views the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.7.2 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable button widgets. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity impacts such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed in the context of the victim user. Availability is not affected. 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 vulnerable plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from qodeinteractive regarding patches or official mitigations.
