Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PowerPack Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.7.17

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the * html tag* attribute of multiple widgets 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 that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.7.17, update to a version later than 2.7.17 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the html tag attribute of multiple widgets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
