CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Jeg Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in comment content, affecting all versions up to 3.2.16. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into pages, which execute when users access those pages, particularly when a legitimate Jeg Kit Countdown widget is rendered. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description

The Jeg Kit for Elementor – Powerful Addons for Elementor, Widgets & Templates for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.16 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Successful exploitation requires that the targeted post also renders a legitimate Jeg Kit Countdown widget, which causes the countdown frontend script to be enqueued and to initialize on any matching DOM element — including forged widget markup stored in comments.
