Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.0.3

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Filterable Gallery widget due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. 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, 6.0.3, update to a version later than 6.0.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Filterable Gallery widget until a patch is available. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation.
