CVE-2025-3075: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

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).

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).

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).

The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with at least contributor-level privileges to exploit. The attacker must have the ability to create or edit content using the Elementor plugin's shortcodes (NVD).

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).
