Vulnerability Overview

The Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization in the countdown widget's redirect functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary JavaScript that will execute when an administrator or other user views the page containing the malicious countdown element.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.0.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
