Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Elementor Elementor Pro allows Using Malicious Files.
This issue affects Elementor Pro: from n/a through 4.2.1.
The ECS WordPress plugin before 4.3.8 does not perform capability or object-ownership checks on its Dynamic Repeater AJAX handlers (gated only by a capability-agnostic nonce that any editposts user obtains from the Elementor editor), so a Contributor can write a data-source binding into any post — including admin-authored pages — whose attacker-controlled values are rendered into a widget's repeater output without sanitization, executing JavaScript in the session of any visitor or administrator who views the page.
The Elementor Website Builder – More Than Just a Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several widget parameters in all versions up to, and including, 3.35.5 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 Ultimate Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Navigation Menu Widget data-toggle-icon/data-close-icon Attributes in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.1 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. wpksespost, applied on save for users without unfilteredhtml, does not neutralize HTML-entity-encoded payloads stored inside data- attributes on kses-allowed elements, as the browser decodes these values client-side before jQuery .html() renders them as markup.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Elementor Elementor Website Builder allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.
This issue affects Elementor Website Builder: from n/a through 4.1.0.
The Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin before 4.1.4 does not properly check user permissions before returning post data through one of its REST endpoints, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access and above to retrieve the title, body and metadata of private posts, private pages and drafts authored by other users (including administrators).
The Animation Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'weatherstyle' and 'movedirection' parameters of the Weather widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3. This is due to insufficient output escaping in the Weather widget's render() function at widgets/weather.php:1246, where both settings values are placed into an HTML class attribute without escattr(). Elementor does not server-side validate widget SELECT control values against allowed options on save, so an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or above can submit a crafted savebuilder AJAX request storing arbitrary values in the elementordata post meta. The stored payload renders unescaped on every frontend visit to the affected page (the Weather widget requires an OpenWeatherMap API key to reach the vulnerable output, which is the normal operational state for sites using this widget).
The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the elementordata meta field in versions up to, and including, 4.0.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization when processing form-encoded REST API requests. The plugin registers the elementordata meta field with showinrest but omits a sanitizecallback, relying instead on a restpreinsertpost filter (sanitizepostdata function) that only sanitizes JSON-encoded request bodies. When a contributor sends a form-encoded PATCH request to the WordPress REST API, the jsondecode() call on the raw body returns null, causing all sanitization to be skipped. The unsanitized data is then stored via updatepostmeta() and later output without escaping through multiple widget sinks including the HTML widget's printunescapedsetting() function. 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 Extensions for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's EE Events and EE Flipbox widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.32 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.
The Image Hover Effects – Elementor Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘eihelink’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3 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 Events Addon for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Basic Slider, Upcoming Events, and Schedule widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.4 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.
The OSM Map Widget for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
The Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘hfesvgmimetypes’ function in versions up to, and including, 1.6.28 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Starter Templates — Elementor, WordPress & Beaver Builder Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘customuploadmimes’ function in versions up to, and including, 4.2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘hoveranimation’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 3.21.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the several parameters in versions up to, and including, 3.21.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Elementor Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data modification due to a missing capability check on the updatepageoption function in versions up to, and including, 3.11.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level capabilities to update arbitrary site options, which can lead to privilege escalation.
The Elementor plugin before 2.8.5 for WordPress suffers from a reflected XSS vulnerability on the elementor-system-info page. These can be exploited by targeting an authenticated user.
The Elementor Page Builder plugin before 2.8.4 for WordPress does not sanitize data during creation of a new template.
