## Technical details

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping within the Fancy Text Widget. Specifically, the vulnerability is located in the handling of animation names within the Morphext library and the fancy-text.js component. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of a user's browser whenever they visit the compromised page. The issue is addressed in version 6.7.0 by implementing proper sanitization for animation names.
