Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Element Pack Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.6.11

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the onclick event parameter 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 that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.6.11, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the onclick event parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
