WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-3075) in versions up to and including 3.29.0. The vulnerability exists in the plugin's 'elementor-element' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This security issue was disclosed on July 29, 2025 (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The scope is changed (S:C) with low confidentiality (C:L) and integrity (I:L) impacts, and no availability impact (A:N) (Wordfence).

Impact

The vulnerability only affects sites with 'Element Caching' enabled and allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an affected page (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Site administrators should update their Elementor Website Builder plugin to a version newer than 3.29.0 when available. As a temporary workaround, administrators can disable the 'Element Caching' feature to prevent exploitation (NVD).
