Description

The WPZOOM Addons for Elementor (Templates, Widgets) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘url’ attribute within the plugin's Team Members widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.38 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

The WPZOOM Addons for Elementor plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the 'url' attribute of the Team Members widget. Authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that is stored and executed when other users access the compromised page. This vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.1.38 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting a medium risk with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or official fix has been referenced in the available data.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable 'url' attribute. These scripts execute in the context of any user visiting the page, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability. There are no known active exploits reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the Team Members widget if feasible to reduce exposure.
