CVE-2026-11380 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the JetWidgets For Elementor WordPress plugin. It affects versions up to and including 1.0.21 due to improper neutralization of input in the animation_effect setting of the Animated Box widget. This setting is rendered inside an HTML class attribute without sufficient output escaping or server-side validation, allowing authenticated users with author-level privileges or higher to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user who views the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks.

An attacker with author-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the animation_effect setting. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not affect availability but impacts confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Animated Box widget. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
