Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.24

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

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.6.24, update to a version higher than 1.6.24 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the flyout layout attribute to minimize the risk of exploitation.
