CVE-2025-1802

HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor <= 2.8.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Multiple Widgets

Published Mar 20, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘marker_title’, 'notification_content', and 'stt_button_text' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.3 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 vulnerability was partially patched in version 2.8.3.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin contains a stored XSS vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher access to inject arbitrary scripts through the marker_title, notification_content and stt_button_text parameters. When a victim opens a page containing the injected content, the stored script executes in the victim’s browser, enabling data theft, session hijacking, or defacement. The weakness is a classic case of insufficient input sanitization leading to CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin by devitemsllc, all versions up to and including 2.8.3. The plugin adds widgets and templates to Elementor and is accessible via the WordPress administration interface.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies this as a moderate severity issue, but the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates low likelihood of active exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to have authenticated Contributor access and to modify widget parameters within the plugin’s editor. Successful exploitation results in client‑side script execution on any user who views the affected page.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest HT Mega plugin version that removes the XSS vectors (any release newer than 2.8.3).
  • If an upgrade is unavailable, immediately revoke Contributor or higher roles from all users and remove the vulnerable widgets.
  • Configure WordPress to strip or encode user‑supplied HTML in widget content, for example by enforcing stricter sanitization or using a security plugin that blocks script tags.
