Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the aThemes Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the Call To Action widget. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level or higher permissions to inject malicious scripts. These scripts then execute whenever any user views the affected page.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers with contributor-level or higher access to inject malicious scripts into web pages, which will execute in the browsers of users who visit those pages. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions that compromise user security and trust.
