CVE-2026-15284: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in kingaddons King Addons for Elementor – 80+ Elementor Widgets, 4 000+ Elementor Templates, WooCommerce, Mega Menu, Popup Builder
The King Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'form_page_id' parameter in versions up to, and including, 51.1.62 This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the add_to_submissions() function, which applies sanitize_text_field() (which preserves double-quote characters) before storing the value in post meta, combined with missing output escaping in the king_addons_submissions_custom_column_content() function, which concatenates the stored value into an HTML href attribute via admin_url() without wrapping the result in esc_url(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-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 King Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the 'form_page_id' parameter is sanitized using sanitize_text_field(), which does not remove double-quote characters, before being stored in post meta. Later, the stored value is concatenated into an HTML href attribute in the admin interface without proper escaping (esc_url()), enabling injection of arbitrary scripts. This vulnerability can be exploited by authenticated users with subscriber-level privileges or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages.
Potential Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level access or above can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of other users accessing the injected pages. This can lead to information disclosure, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires authentication, but it impacts confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user permissions carefully and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid granting unnecessary access to untrusted users. Follow vendor updates for a security patch addressing this issue.
