Description
The Animation Addons for Elementor – GSAP Powered Elementor Addons & Website Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the multiple parameters in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.6 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.

Impact: Stored DOM‑Based Cross‑Site Scripting (XSS) that can be executed by any user viewing an affected page, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or defacement.
Action: Update
AI Analysis

Impact

The plugin fails to sanitize or escape multiple parameters, allowing an authenticated contributor or higher to embed arbitrary JavaScript code within its content. The injected code is stored and executed in the browser every time a visitor loads the modified page, creating a stored DOM‑based XSS vector that can compromise user sessions or deliver malicious payloads.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that have the “Animation Addons for Elementor – GSAP Powered Elementor Addons & Website Templates” plugin, any release up to and including version 4.2.6.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects moderate severity. The EPSS score of < 1 % indicates a low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers must possess Contributor level or higher access to inject the payload through the plugin’s editor, and any user who subsequently visits the modified page will have the injected script executed.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the plugin to a version newer than 4.2.6, or uninstall it if it is not essential to site functionality.
  • Limit access to the plugin’s content editor to only administrators, ensuring that contributors cannot modify stored content with malicious code.
  • Deploy a Content Security Policy that disallows inline scripts and restricts script sources to trusted origins to mitigate the impact of any remaining XSS vectors.
