Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elementor Addons by Livemesh plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 8.3.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Post widgets due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on author display names. 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, 8.3.5, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting contributor-level access to prevent potential exploitation.
