Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin versions up to, and including, 1.5.112

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the username parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above, and granted plugin setting edit permissions, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 1.5.112, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the username parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to plugin setting edit permissions to only trusted administrators to reduce the attack surface.
