Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elementor Header & Footer Builder for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.26

Description The issue is related to HTML Injection due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with author-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary HTML in pages, which will be displayed when a user accesses the injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.6.26, update to a version higher than 1.6.26 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the page builder for users with author-level permissions and above until a patch is available.
