What is CVE-2020-36703?
The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with the upload_files capability to perform stored cross-site scripting (XSS). This occurs due to improper handling of SVG image uploads, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. When users access these compromised pages, the injected scripts execute, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or further exploitation. This highlights the importance of updating plugins promptly and maintaining robust security practices.
