Elements Plus! <= 2.16.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Multiple Widgets

Published Sep 11, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Elements Plus! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Image Comparison, HotSpot Plus, and Google Maps widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.16.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
