Technical Summary
CVE-2025-8388 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the PowerPack Addons for Elementor (Free Widgets, Extensions and Templates) WordPress plugin. The issue exists in all versions up to and including 2.9.4 due to improper neutralization of input in the 'cursor_url' parameter.

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or above to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise of user data within the affected WordPress site. There is no indication of availability impact or known active exploitation in the wild.
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 plugin. Monitor for updates from ideaboxcreations regarding patches or official mitigations.
