Technical details
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in King Addons for Elementor (versions <= 51.1.62) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). The vulnerability requires 'Subscriber' level privileges to initiate, but successful exploitation depends on user interaction from a victim (typically an administrator). An attacker can inject malicious HTML or JavaScript payloads that are stored on the server and executed in the context of other users' sessions. This can lead to unauthorized actions, data theft via cookies, or site defacement. The issue is resolved in version 51.1.63.
