CVE-2026-8677 Details
Description
The Prime Elementor Addons – Lightweight Elementor Widgets for Faster Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Widget HTML Tag Settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. The exploit succeeds even for users without the unfiltered_html capability because the payload (e.g., 'img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)') contains no HTML angle brackets and therefore passes through Elementor's wp_kses_post() filter unchanged at save time.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Prime Elementor Addons WordPress plugin, specifically in versions up to and including 1.3.3. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the Widget HTML Tag Settings. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. The injected scripts are executed when a user accesses the affected page. Notably, the exploitation does not require the unfiltered_html capability, as the payload can be crafted to bypass Elementor's wp_kses_post() filter by omitting HTML angle brackets.
Users can update the Prime Elementor Addons WordPress plugin to version 1.3.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
