Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.9.21

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Twitter Feed component 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, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 5.9.21, update to a version later than 5.9.21 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Twitter Feed component until a patch is available.
