CVE-2025-8603: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in unitecms Unlimited Elements For Elementor
The Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several widgets in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.148 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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
CVE-2025-8603 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin for WordPress. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary scripts through multiple widgets. These scripts persist and execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.5.148. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the browsers of users who view those pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of the victim's session, data theft, or other client-side impacts affecting confidentiality and integrity. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits are reported 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 released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected widgets. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
