Descriptions

The Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin before 3.5.5 does not filter out user-controlled URLs from being loaded into the DOM. This could be used to inject rogue iframes that point to malicious URLs.

The Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘settings’ hash parameter in versions up to, and including, 3.5.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary iframes in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

WordPress Elementor plugin versions prior to 3.5.5 suffer from an iframe injection vulnerability.
