Technical details
A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress (versions prior to 3.10.01). The plugin fails to sanitize or escape megamenu menu-item settings, such as 'menu_badge_text', before storing them in the database and rendering them on the front end. While WordPress administrators typically have 'unfiltered_html' capabilities, in a multisite environment, subsite administrators are restricted from using HTML. This vulnerability allows a subsite administrator to bypass these restrictions and plant a malicious payload. The payload executes when the menu is viewed by other users, including network Super Admins, potentially leading to privilege escalation or session hijacking. The issue is fixed in version 3.10.01.
