Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.25.7

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the url parameter of the Icon widget, caused by 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, 3.25.7, update to a version higher than 3.25.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Icon widget's url parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
