Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Stratum – Elementor Widgets plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the label years attribute within the Countdown widget 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, 1.4.1, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Countdown widget for users with Contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
