AI-suggested
Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling the vulnerable Navigation Menu widget or Mega Menu extension if feasible. Applying strict input validation and output escaping at the application level may mitigate risk but requires developer intervention. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
The Master Addons – Free Widgets, Hover Effects, Toggle, Conditions, Animations for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Navigation Menu widget of the plugin's Mega Menu extension in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
