Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Essential Addons for Elementor by WP

CVE-2024-4003

Summary

The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin, used for building advanced designs on WordPress sites, is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. This issue arises in the Team Members widget, specifically through the eael_team_members_image_rounded parameter. Due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in all versions up to and including 5.9.15, authenticated attackers with contributor access and higher can exploit this flaw to inject malicious web scripts. The injected scripts may execute whenever a user accesses compromised pages, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or further site exploitation.
