WordPress · The Plus Addons For Elementor · CVE-2026-9243
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
The Plus Addons for Elementor versions prior to 6.4.16
**Description**
The plugin is subject to Stored Cross-Site Scripting, a flaw where malicious scripts are permanently stored on the target server. The issue exists in the Carousel Anything widget due to insufficient output escaping within the `render()` function. Specifically, the `carousel direction` parameter is placed into an unquoted HTML attribute (`dir=`), which allows attribute injection even when `esc attr()` is used. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that execute when accessed by other users.
**Recommendations**
Update to a version later than 6.4.15.
As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the Carousel Anything widget or avoid using the `carousel direction` parameter until the update is applied.
