The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) identified as CVE-2025-1287. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts via specific widgets (Countdown, Syntax Highlighter, Page Scroll) due to inadequate input validation and output escaping. The injected scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The issue affects all plugin versions up to 6.2.2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity. No patch or official fix has been disclosed yet.

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using vulnerable widgets. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as session hijacking or data theft. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the vulnerable widgets (Countdown, Syntax Highlighter, Page Scroll) to reduce risk.
