Description
The aThemes Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'title_tag' Widget Setting in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8 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. This affects the Posts Timeline widget as well as the Posts Carousel widget across its default, Banner, and Modern skins, all of which omit the whitelist validation that is correctly applied in the Posts List widget.

AI Analysis

Impact

The aThemes Addons for Elementor plugin is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting through the 'title_tag' widget setting. Attacks occur when the input is not properly sanitized or escaped, allowing an authenticated contributor or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript. The injected script executes whenever a user accesses a page containing the compromised widget, potentially enabling defacement, data theft, or session hijacking.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running aThemes Addons for Elementor version 1.1.8 or earlier are affected. Vulnerability is present in the Posts Timeline widget and in the Posts Carousel widget in its default, Banner, and Modern skins.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is not available and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is likely limited to users who have contributor or elevated roles, but any site visitor to a page that includes the injected widget can be impacted. Exploitation requires an authenticated user to modify the widget setting, after which the stored payload is served to all users who view the edited page.
