Technical details

The Element Pack Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the render_svg() function. The function uses wp_safe_remote_get() to fetch SVG content from remote URLs and echoes it directly to the page. While it uses preg_replace() to add attributes to the SVG tag, it fails to strip malicious event handlers or script tags. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level permissions or higher can exploit this to inject arbitrary JavaScript into SVG files, which then executes in the context of any user viewing the affected page. A patch was introduced in version 8.4.3.
