CVE-2025-3075: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in elemntor Elementor Website Builder – more than just a page builder
The Elementor Website Builder – More Than Just a Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'elementor-element' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.29.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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. This only impacts sites with 'Element Caching' enabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'elementor-element' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. This vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 3.29.0 and requires 'Element Caching' to be enabled to be exploitable. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not affect sites without 'Element Caching' enabled. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the publication date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or patch links are provided. Users should check the vendor advisory for updates. Until a patch is available, consider disabling 'Element Caching' to mitigate the risk. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only. Monitor official Elementor channels for forthcoming security updates addressing this issue.
