AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Responsive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages via multiple widgets, which executes in the context of users visiting those pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.0.1. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required at low level, no user interaction needed, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with contributor-level access to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure for users who view the infected pages. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
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 affected widgets. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin maintainers regarding patches or official mitigations.
