WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is affected by a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-4783) discovered in versions up to and including 2.7.9.1. The vulnerability exists in the HTML attributes of the Countdown Timer Widget due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping (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) (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or theft of sensitive information (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Website administrators running affected versions of the Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin should update to a version newer than 2.7.9.1 as soon as possible.
