Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Image Hover Effects – Elementor Addon plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.1

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the Image Hover Effects Widget.

The injected scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the injected page.
