Assigner: WPScan

Description
The HappyAddons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 3.50.0 does not escape an icon value on one of its button widgets before outputting it inside an HTML attribute, allowing users with Contributor-level access and above to inject event-handler attributes that execute JavaScript in the browser of anyone who views the page, including higher-privileged users reviewing the content, even though such users do not hold the unfiltered_html capability.

Executive Summary

This is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HappyAddons for Elementor WordPress plugin before version 3.50.0. The issue occurs because the plugin does not properly escape an icon value in its Creative Button Widget before rendering it in an HTML attribute. This allows users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious event-handler attributes that execute JavaScript when the page is viewed by anyone, including administrators.

Detection Guidance

Check the installed version of the HappyAddons for Elementor plugin. If it is below 3.50.0, the system is vulnerable. Use commands like 'wp plugin list' in WordPress or inspect the plugin files for version details.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher could inject JavaScript code that executes when the page is viewed. This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of users, theft of sensitive data, or defacement of the website. Even administrators without the unfiltered_html capability could be affected if they view the compromised page.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health information privacy). Organizations could face legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of trust if user data is compromised due to this flaw.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the HappyAddons for Elementor plugin to version 3.50.0 or later immediately. Remove or disable the plugin if updating is not possible. Review user roles with Contributor access or higher for suspicious activity.
