Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.9.15

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the Filterable Gallery and Interactive Circle widgets. 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, 5.9.15, update to a version later than 5.9.15 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Filterable Gallery and Interactive Circle widgets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
