Descriptions

In the Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin before 3.1.4, the heading widget (includes/widgets/heading.php) accepts a ‘header_size’ 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 with this parameter set to ‘script’ and combined with a ‘title’ parameter containing JavaScript, which 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 widget heading (el archivo includes/widgets/heading.php) acepta un parámetro "header_size". 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 con este parámetro establecido en "script" y combinado con un parámetro de "títle" que contenga JavaScript , que luego será ejecutado cuando la página guardada es visualizada o previsualizada
