Description
The Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the '<title>/<description> inside the attacker-controlled RSS feed body' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.26 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is exploitable against any site whose administrator has placed the RSS Feed catalog widget pointing at a feed URL the attacker controls, as the plugin's own 2.0.25 escaping pre-processor intentionally excludes |raw prints in element content positions from its escaping logic, and XML entity-encoded payloads in feed item titles are decoded back to raw markup before reaching the sink.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to embed malicious scripts in the title or description fields of RSS feed items. When an administrator adds the RSS Feed widget to a page and points it at an attacker‑controlled feed, the plugin fails to sanitize or escape these fields. The attacker’s payloads are then rendered as executable code on any visitor’s browser, enabling cookie theft, session hijack, or phishing.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation with the Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin version 2.0.26 or earlier that uses the RSS Feed widget to display a feed from a source the attacker can control is affected. The flaw resides in the plugin’s copy‑print logic that excludes raw printing for element content positions from its escaping workflow.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 classifies this as high severity. Because the flaw is independent of authentication, an attacker can simply deliver a malicious RSS feed and any site visitor who loads the page will execute the script. The absence of an EPSS score and the fact that this entry is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog suggest that widespread exploitation has not yet been observed, but once a site is configured to consume an attacker‑controlled feed, the risk is imminent and significant.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin to the most recent release that includes the patch to the RSS feed handling logic.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, remove or disable any RSS Feed widget that points to an external or untrusted feed, or reconfigure the feed source to point to a trusted, controlled channel.
  • As a temporary precaution, review and sanitize any dynamic content from the feed before it is inserted into the page, ensuring that title and description fields are properly escaped or stripped of script tags.
