Description
The Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates & Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘data-gallery-items’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
