Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.4.2

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via custom attributes in the plugin's widgets due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. 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, 5.4.2, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to custom attributes in the plugin's widgets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
