Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Qi Addons For Elementor by WordPress

CVE-2024-13699

What is CVE-2024-13699?

The Qi Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access and higher to execute arbitrary web scripts on targeted pages. This occurs via the ‘cursor’ parameter due to a lack of proper input sanitization and output escaping. Consequently, whenever a user accesses an injected page, harmful scripts could be executed, posing significant risks to site integrity and user data. Although attempts were made to address this issue in versions 1.8.5, 1.8.6, and 1.8.7, the vulnerability remains a concern for users relying on these versions.
