CVE-2025-7845: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jetmonsters Stratum Widgets for Elementor
The Stratum – Elementor Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Advanced Google Maps and Image Hotspot widgets in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.0 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Stratum – Elementor Widgets plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of user-supplied attributes in its Advanced Google Maps and Image Hotspot widgets. This flaw allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious JavaScript into pages, which executes in the context of any user viewing those pages. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.6.0. The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 reflects network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction needed, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild and no vendor patch or advisory currently provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into web pages generated by the plugin. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of other users viewing the affected pages, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of user data. There is no direct impact on availability. The vulnerability does not affect unauthenticated users but requires authenticated access with specific privileges.
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 removing the affected Advanced Google Maps and Image Hotspot widgets if feasible. Monitor for updates from the vendor for an official patch or mitigation instructions.
