CVE, Research URL: CVE-2021-24201
Home page URL: Security reports for Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder
Application: Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder
Published on: Apr 06, 2021
Research Description: In the Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin before 3.1.4, the column element (includes/elements/column.php) accepts an ‘html_tag’ parameter. Although the element control lists a fixed set of possible html tags, it is possible for a user with Contributor or above permissions to send a modified ‘save_builder’ request containing JavaScript in the ‘html_tag’ parameter, which is not filtered and is output without escaping. This JavaScript will then be executed when the saved page is viewed or previewed.
Affected versions: max 3.1.4.
Status: vulnerable
