CVE-2023-6525

Summary

CVE-2023-6525 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the ElementsKit Elementor addons plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to 3.0.3, permits authenticated attackers with editor-level access to inject malicious scripts into progress bar element attributes. Consequently, these scripts execute whenever a user views an injected page, posing a significant threat to multi-site installations and those with unfiltered_html disabled. The cause of the vulnerability lies in insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, which enables attackers to exploit this weakness and compromise the affected website.
