Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PDF Viewer for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.9.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the render function due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.9.3, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the render function to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the render function for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
