Technical details

The vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw residing in the 'premium_tooltip_text' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts. The exploit is specifically triggered via the print_template() method registered on the 'elementor/section/print_template' hook, meaning the payload executes when a high-privileged user (like an administrator) opens the affected post within the Elementor editor interface rather than on the public frontend. A patch was introduced in version 4.11.85.
