Summary

The Prime Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.3.3) is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Widget HTML Tag Settings due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or above can inject arbitrary scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploit works even without the unfiltered_html capability because the payload (e.g., 'img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)') contains no angle brackets and passes through Elementor's wp_kses_post() filter unchanged.

Risk Assessment

The risk is the injection of malicious scripts that can steal session data, redirect users, or perform other unauthorized actions in the victim's browser context.

Recommendation

Update the Prime Elementor Addons plugin to version 1.3.4 or later if available, or apply temporary mitigations such as restricting access to widget editing.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Prime Elementor Addons – Lightweight Elementor Widgets for Faster Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Widget HTML Tag Settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for 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. The exploit succeeds even for users without the unfiltered_html capability because the payload (e.g., 'img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)') contains no HTML angle brackets and therefore passes through Elementor's wp_kses_post() filter unchanged at save time.
