VulnerabilityCVE-2025-2225cvecve-2025-2225cwe-79
Published: Tue Apr 15 2025 (04/15/2025, 05:23:27 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: cyberchimps
Product: Responsive Addons for Elementor – Free Elementor Addons, Kits and Elementor Templates

Description

The Responsive Addons for Elementor – Free Elementor Addons Plugin and Elementor Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘rael_title_tag' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.9 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. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 1.6.9.

Technical Analysis

The Responsive Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the 'rael_title_tag' parameter is not properly sanitized or escaped, allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. Although version 1.6.9 includes a partial patch, the vulnerability is not fully resolved. No official patch or vendor advisory confirming a complete fix is currently available.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious JavaScript into pages, which executes in the browsers of users who view those pages. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session tokens, or other sensitive information accessible via the browser context. The vulnerability does not affect availability but impacts confidentiality and integrity. The partial patch in version 1.6.9 suggests some mitigation, but the risk remains until a full fix is confirmed.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed—check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 1.6.9, so upgrading to this version is recommended as a temporary measure. Monitor the vendor's official channels for a complete fix. Until a full patch is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider additional input validation or web application firewall rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the 'rael_title_tag' parameter.
