## Description

The Element Pack Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Cookie Consent widget's 'position' setting in all versions up to, and including, 10.0.4, due to insufficient input validation: the saved position value is passed unchecked into the widget's data-settings, and the bundled cookieconsent library builds the banner's class attribute from it and inserts the markup with innerHTML. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above who can edit with Elementor, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
