CVE-2026-4655
Element Pack Addons for Elementor <= 8.4.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG Image Widget
Description
The Element Pack Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the SVG Image Widget in versions up to and including 8.4.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on SVG content fetched from remote URLs in the render_svg() function. The function fetches SVG content using wp_safe_remote_get() and then directly echoes it to the page without any sanitization, only applying a preg_replace() to add attributes to the SVG tag which does not remove malicious event handlers. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary JavaScript in SVG files that will execute whenever a user accesses a page containing the malicious widget.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: plugin para WordPress Element Pack Addons for Elementor, Description: El plugin Element Pack Addons para Elementor para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través del widget de imagen SVG en versiones hasta la 8.4.2 inclusive. Esto se debe a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes en el contenido SVG obtenido de URLs remotas en la función render_svg(). La función obtiene contenido SVG utilizando wp_safe_remote_get() y luego lo imprime directamente en la página sin ninguna sanitización, solo aplicando un preg_replace() para añadir atributos a la etiqueta SVG, lo que no elimina los manejadores de eventos maliciosos. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Colaborador y superior, inyecten JavaScript arbitrario en archivos SVG que se ejecutará cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página que contenga el widget malicioso. -
