Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Plus Addons for Elementor versions up to, and including, 5.6.2

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the video date attribute within the plugin's Video 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, 5.6.2, update to a version later than 5.6.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Video widget until a patch is available. Avoid using the video date attribute in the affected Video widget until the issue is resolved.
