## Description

The Addon Elements for Elementor (formerly Elementor Addon Elements) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Content Switcher widget's item titles in all versions up to, and including, 1.14.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The titles were echoed on the front end without any escaping. 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.
