CVE-2025-1261: HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor <= 2.8.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Countdown Widget
First published: Sat Mar 08 2025(Updated: )
The HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Countdown widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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. NOTE: This vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-3307.
