Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation causes a stored cross‑site scripting flaw. An attacker can inject malicious script into the Essential Addons for Elementor Lite plugin and have that code executed in the browsers of any user who views the affected content. The injected script could steal session cookies, deface the site, or conduct phishing attacks against site visitors. The impact is loss of confidentiality and integrity for user data, and it can lead to abuse of site functionality.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in WordPress sites that have the WPDeveloper Essential Addons for Elementor Lite plugin installed. All plugin releases from the earliest available version through version 6.1.9 are affected. The plugin is distributed for the WordPress CMS and is identified by the vendor WPDeveloper.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 places the flaw in the medium severity range. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation at this time, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The most likely attack vector requires an attacker already having the ability to submit data through the plugin’s interface— for example via a comment, testimonial, or custom field. Once a script is stored, it will be delivered to anyone who views the affected content.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Essential Addons for Elementor Lite to a version newer than 6.1.9
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the plugin’s content editor or any input fields that store user-provided data, and disable custom JavaScript features
  • Deploy a web application firewall rule to detect and block stored XSS payloads as a temporary safeguard
