WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The Medical Addon for Elementor plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-8212) discovered in August 2025. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.6.3 of the plugin. The issue exists in the plugin's Typewriter widget due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) issue 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 impact on availability (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 a user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or manipulation of user sessions (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
The plugin has been temporarily closed as of July 30, 2025, pending a full security review. Users are advised to disable the plugin until a patched version is released (WordPress Plugin).
