Description
The The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the button text setting of the Info Box and Flip Box widgets in all versions up to, and including, 6.5.1 due to insufficient output escaping. Before 6.5.0 the Info Box printed the button text unescaped for every button style; from 6.5.0 both widgets escaped it only for the default style-8 button, so a saved style-7 or style-9 button style still printed it raw. 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.
