Description
The Element Pack Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Creative Button widget's Button ID setting in all versions up to, and including, 8.8.6 due to the value being inserted unescaped into the id attribute in the widget's Elementor editor template. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above who can edit with Elementor, to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when another user, such as an administrator, opens the affected content in the Elementor editor preview.
