CVE-2025-8564: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in sonalsinha21 SKT Addons for Elementor
The SKT Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widgets in all versions up to, and including, 3.7 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 SKT 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 flaw allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages via multiple widgets. The injected scripts execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 3.7. No patch or remediation details have been provided by the vendor or advisory sources.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. These scripts execute whenever any user accesses the infected page, potentially leading to theft of user credentials, session tokens, or other sensitive information accessible via the browser. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity of client-side data; availability is not affected. The vulnerability requires authenticated access, reducing the attack surface compared to unauthenticated XSS.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the SKT Addons for Elementor plugin if feasible. Monitor official channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
