Description
The Borderless – Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘title’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Borderless – Addons and Templates for Elementor plugin contains a stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw. The title field of several widgets is not properly sanitized or escaped, so an authenticated user with Contributor or higher privileges can submit JavaScript that is persisted in the database. When any visitor loads the affected page, the malicious script runs in their browser, potentially hijacking sessions, defacing content, or facilitating phishing attempts.

Affected Systems

Borderless – Addons and Templates for Elementor (visualmodo) versions 1.7.1 and earlier are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies the issue as medium severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation as of the latest data. This vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers need authenticated Contributor‑level access, and the exploitation is limited to clients viewing the injected page. The impact is primarily client‑side code execution rather than server‑side compromise or remote code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Borderless plugin to version 1.7.2 or later
  • If an upgrade is not feasible, restrict Contributor and higher roles from adding or editing widgets that use Borderless and delete any existing malicious titles
  • Implement a content‑security‑policy that disallows inline scripts and ensures user‑supplied content is not executed
