AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the Calendar and Business Reviews widgets. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize and escape input, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages. These scripts then execute whenever any user views the affected page.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can allow attackers with Contributor-level access to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the infected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or spreading malware, potentially compromising the security and integrity of the affected website and its users.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Update the Essential Addons for Elementor plugin to version 6.1.20 or later, as this update includes extensive security fixes addressing CVE-2025-6244 by improving input sanitization and output escaping to prevent stored cross-site scripting attacks. [1]
