Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elementor Website Builder Pro plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.20.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the widget's custom id due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.20.1, update to a version later than 3.20.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the custom id attribute in widgets to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, limiting contributor-level and above permissions can help reduce the attack surface until a patch is applied.
