Description

The EmbedPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the EmbedPress Elementor widget's 'showTitle' setting in versions 4.4.9 up to, and including, 4.6.6. This is due to the setting's value being echoed into the widget's wrapper element without any output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above who can edit content with Elementor, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
