Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.6.4

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

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.6.4, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the countdown widget's attributes. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the countdown widget for users with contributor access or higher until a patch is available.
