Received Received - Intake
Stored XSS in aThemes Addons for Elementor Plugin

Publication date: 2026-06-10

Last updated on: 2026-06-10

Assigner: Wordfence

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.

Executive Summary

The aThemes Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'title_tag' Widget Setting in all versions up to and including 1.1.8. This vulnerability arises because of insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the injected page.

The vulnerability affects the Posts Timeline widget and the Posts Carousel widget (including its default, Banner, and Modern skins), which do not apply the whitelist validation that is correctly used in the Posts List widget.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with contributor-level access to inject malicious scripts into your website pages. These scripts will run in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages.

The impact includes potential theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement of the website, or redirection to malicious sites.

Since the vulnerability requires authenticated access, it limits exploitation to users who already have some level of access, but it still poses a significant risk to site integrity and user security.
