The Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress (CVE-2025-4783) contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability 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, Wiz).

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).

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 (Wiz).

The vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or higher privileges to exploit. The attacker can inject arbitrary web scripts through the HTML attributes of the Countdown Timer Widget, which will then execute when users access the affected page (NVD).

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. If immediate updating is not possible, it is recommended to restrict access to the Countdown Timer Widget functionality to trusted users only (Wiz).
