AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the eael_pricing_item_tooltip_content parameter of its Pricing Table Widget. This vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied data. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that will execute in the context of users viewing the compromised page. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 6.1.12. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users visiting the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information and modification of content as perceived by users. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires authenticated access, limiting the attack surface. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
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 limiting use of the Pricing Table Widget. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
