CVE-2026-1512: Essential Addons for Elementor <= 6.5.9 – Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Info Box Widget (essential-addons-for-elementor-lite)

CVE ID CVE-2026-1512
Plugin essential-addons-for-elementor-lite
Severity Medium (CVSS 6.4)
CWE 79
Vulnerable Version 6.5.9
Patched Version 6.5.10
Disclosed February 12, 2026

Analysis Overview

Atomic Edge analysis of CVE-2026-1512:
This vulnerability is an authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw in the Essential Addons for Elementor plugin’s Info Box widget. Attackers with contributor-level WordPress access or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript payloads that execute when a user views a compromised page. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects the moderate impact of stored XSS requiring authentication.

Atomic Edge research identifies the root cause as insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the Info Box widget. The vulnerability originates in the `includes/Classes/Helper.php` file, specifically in the `eael_allowed_tags()` function. Prior to the patch, this function’s allowed HTML tag list (lines 1295-1379) was incomplete, omitting critical attributes for tags like `button` and `img`. For example, the `button` tag definition only permitted `class`, `id`, and `style` attributes, while the `img` tag lacked the `allowfullscreen` attribute. This incomplete allowlist failed to properly sanitize user input containing malicious event handlers or other dangerous attributes.

The exploitation method involves an authenticated attacker with at least contributor privileges accessing the Elementor editor. The attacker adds an Info Box widget to a page and injects a malicious payload into a widget field that accepts HTML input. A typical payload would be ``. Because the plugin’s `eael_allowed_tags()` function did not include the `onclick` attribute in its allowlist for the `button` tag, the payload should have been stripped. However, due to the incomplete implementation, the malicious attribute persists. When the page is saved and later viewed by any user, the injected JavaScript executes in the victim’s browser context.

The patch in version 6.5.10 significantly expands and corrects the `eael_allowed_tags()` function in `includes/Classes/Helper.php`. Atomic Edge analysis shows the fix adds comprehensive attribute definitions for numerous HTML tags including `button`, `img`, `blockquote`, `form`, `input`, `textarea`, `select`, `option`, and `label`. Crucially, the `button` tag now properly includes `type`, `id`, `class`, and `disabled` attributes (lines 1435-1440), while the `img` tag gains the `allowfullscreen` attribute (line 1375). The patch also applies the `wp_kses()` function with `Helper::eael_allowed_tags()` to sanitize output in multiple widget files, ensuring user input is filtered against the corrected allowlist before rendering.

Successful exploitation allows attackers to perform actions within the victim’s WordPress session, potentially leading to session hijacking, administrative account takeover, website defacement, or malware distribution. Since the payload is stored in the database, it affects all users who view the compromised page. The attacker’s ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected domain enables theft of authentication cookies, manipulation of page content, and redirection to malicious sites.

// For demonstration: This PoC shows the concept but cannot fully automate Elementor editor interaction
// without complex JavaScript execution and Elementor-specific API calls.
// The actual exploit requires:
// 1. Authenticated session with Elementor editor access
// 2. Adding Info Box widget via Elementor's JavaScript API
// 3. Injecting payload into widget fields that accept HTML
// 4. Saving the page via Elementor's save mechanism

echo "n2. Add 'Info Box' widget to a page";
echo "n3. Inject payload: $malicious_payload";
echo "n4. Save and publish page";
echo "n5. Any user viewing the page will execute the JavaScript";
