CVE-2025-8388

PowerPack Lite for Elementor <= 2.9.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting Via 'cursor_url'

Published Sep 10, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The PowerPack Elementor Addons (Free Widgets, Extensions and Templates) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘cursor_url’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.4 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.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The PowerPack Elementor Addons plugin contains an insufficiently sanitized ‘cursor_url’ parameter in all releases up to and including 2.9.4. This flaw enables an authenticated user with Contributor level or higher to store arbitrary JavaScript in the plugin’s settings. When a page that uses the custom cursor is rendered, the injected script executes for every user who views the page, allowing the attacker to modify page content or persist malicious code across visits.

Affected Systems

Vendor ideaboxcreations provides the PowerPack Addons for Elementor – a collection of free widgets, extensions, and templates for WordPress. All releases up to and including version 2.9.4 are affected because the ‘cursor_url’ option remains unsanitized. Versions beyond 2.9.4 are not confirmed in the given data and their status is uncertain.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.4 and an EPSS score of less than 1%, indicating moderate severity but a very low probability of widespread exploitation at the time of analysis. The attack requires authenticated access at Contributor level or higher, and the injected script is stored and executed automatically whenever an affected page is accessed. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade PowerPack Lite for Elementor to the latest available version, which is expected to contain a fix for the stored XSS flaw.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, review and remove any custom cursor URLs that contain user‑supplied content, or replace them with a neutral URL to prevent script injection.
  • Limit the assignment of Contributor or higher roles in WordPress until a patched version is installed or the vulnerability is otherwise mitigated.
