Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.13.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages via the id and eae slider animation parameters. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.13.5, update to a version later than 1.13.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the id and eae slider animation parameters to minimize the risk of exploitation.
