Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Image Hover Effects – Elementor Addon plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.3

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 eihe link parameter. The injected scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.4.3, 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 the eihe link parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
