CVE-2026-12141

Premium Addons for Elementor <= 4.11.84 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'premium_tooltip_text' Parameter

Published Jul 11, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Premium Addons for Elementor – Powerful Elementor Templates & Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'premium_tooltip_text' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.11.84 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. The injected payload is specifically triggered when an administrator or higher-privileged user opens the affected post in the Elementor editor, as the raw unescaped output occurs via the print_template() method registered on the 'elementor/section/print_template' hook rather than on the public-facing frontend.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in Premium Addons for Elementor. Input from the 'premium_tooltip_text' field is not sanitized or escaped, allowing an authenticated user with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts that are rendered in the Elementor editor via the print_template() hook.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that install the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin version 4.11.84 or earlier are vulnerable. Versions before 4.11.84 are impacted because validation logic is fixed only in later releases. Sites that rely on the plugin for tooltips or related widget functionality are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.9, indicating moderate severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1 %, implying a low likelihood of exploitation. It is not yet catalogued in the CISA KEV list. Exploitation requires an authenticated contributor‑level or higher account and relies on the attacker opening an affected post in the Elementor editor; therefore the attack vector is limited to the administrative back‑end rather than the public front‑end. Given the low probability score, the immediate threat is moderate but remains significant for sites with highly privileged user roles.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Premium Addons for Elementor to the latest available version (greater than 4.11.84) to apply the vendor fix.
  • If immediate upgrade is not possible, remove or disable the plugin from the site until a patch is applied.
  • Restrict contributor or higher roles from editing capabilities or otherwise minimize the number of users with privileges that can inject content via the plugin.
