Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.35

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the url attribute within the plugin's Site Title 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, 1.6.35, update to a version higher than 1.6.35 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Site Title widget for users with Contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
