Description
The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Woo Product Grid widget's pagination template setting in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping: the value is placed into a single-quoted data-template attribute with json_encode(), which does not encode single quotes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires WooCommerce and a Woo Product Grid widget with pagination enabled.
