## Description

The WPBITS Addons For Elementor Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Logo Grid widget's image caption tooltip in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.1, due to insufficient output escaping. The attachment caption is printed into the data-powertip attribute with esc_attr(), which does not double-encode existing entities, and the PowerTip script inserts the decoded attribute value into the page as HTML, so an entity-encoded caption becomes live markup. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user hovers over the injected logo.
