Description
The Xpro Addons — 140+ Widgets for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'custom_attributes' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-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 Xpro Addons – 140+ Widgets for Elementor plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in all releases up to and including 1.7.2. The vulnerability is triggered by the ‘custom_attributes’ parameter used in many widget configurations. If a user with author or higher permissions injects malicious JavaScript into this field, the code is saved to the database and executed for every visitor who loads the affected page.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites running Xpro Addons version 1.7.2 or earlier are affected. The plug‑in provides more than 140 widgets for Elementor, and the stored payload can be placed in any widget that accepts the custom_attributes field.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker must first authenticate to the WordPress back‑end with author‑level or higher permissions to inject the payload. Once injected, the script runs in the context of every user who views the page, allowing potential defacement, cookie theft, session hijacking, or phishing attacks.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest version of Xpro Addons (1.7.3 or newer) which removes the vulnerability.
  • If immediate upgrade is not possible, limit author‑level access to trusted users only and monitor widget configurations for suspicious custom attributes.
  • As a short‑term workaround, review and clean existing custom_attributes values in the database to strip any embedded JavaScript, and apply proper escaping before outputting them again.
