Description
The The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'All Posts Loaded Text' (loaded_posts_text) setting of the Blog Listing widget in versions 5.5.4 up to, and including, 6.5.1. The value is written to a data attribute and the plugin's load-more script inserts it into the page as HTML once the last page of posts has loaded. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute when a user loads all posts with the Load More button.
