Description

The ElementsKit Elementor addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the progress bar element attributes in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This primarily affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Affected products

• Wpmet Elementskit Elementor Addons: before 3.0.4 — fixed in 3.0.4

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Wpmet Elementskit Elementor Addons 3.0.4. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
