| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N |
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 vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue that occurs when an SVGZ file is uploaded via the Form widget, 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 whenever a user accesses an injected page. The issue is only exploitable on web servers running NGINX and not on those running Apache HTTP Server.
Recommendations
For Elementor Website Builder Pro plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.20.1, update to a version higher than 3.20.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Form widget's SVGZ file upload functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Form widget to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the Form widget to upload SVGZ files until the issue is resolved.
Fix
XSS
