Descriptions

In the Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin before 3.1.4, the column element (includes/elements/column.php) accepts an ‘html_tag’ parameter. Although the element control lists a fixed set of possible html tags, it is possible for a user with Contributor or above permissions to send a modified ‘save_builder’ request containing JavaScript in the ‘html_tag’ parameter, which is not filtered and is output without escaping. This JavaScript will then be executed when the saved page is viewed or previewed.

En el plugin de WordPress Elementor Website Builder versiones anteriores a 3.1.4, el elemento column (el archivo includes/elements/column.php) acepta un parámetro "html_tag".&#xa0;Aunque el control de elementos enumera un conjunto fijo de posibles etiquetas html, es posible que un usuario con permisos de colaborador o superiores envíe una petición ‘save_builder’ modificada que contenga JavaScript en el parámetro "html_tag", que no es filtrado y se emite sin escapar.&#xa0;Este JavaScript será ejecutado cuando la página guardada sea visualizada o previsualizada
