CVE-2026-11380: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jetmonsters JetWidgets For Elementor
The JetWidgets For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 1.0.21. This is due to insufficient output escaping and missing server-side validation of the Animated Box widget's animation_effect setting before it is rendered inside an HTML class attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-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-2026-11380 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the JetWidgets For Elementor WordPress plugin. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of input in the animation_effect setting of the Animated Box widget, which is rendered inside an HTML class attribute without sufficient escaping or server-side validation. This allows authenticated attackers with author-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0.21. No official patch or remediation level has been provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with author-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other script-based attacks against users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability does not affect availability but impacts confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:L/I:L/A:N).
Mitigation Recommendations
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 avoiding use of the Animated Box widget's animation_effect setting. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
