Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.28

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the hfe svg mime types function due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions 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, 1.6.28, update to a version higher than 1.6.28 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the hfe svg mime types function until a patch is available. Additionally, restrict contributor-level permissions and above to minimize the risk of exploitation.
