Settings modification and XSS via missing nonce validation
Published Feb 21, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in PowerPack Pro for Elementor before 2.10.8 allows remote attackers to alter settings and inject scripts through forged requests. The PowerPack settings handler accepts state-changing input without valid nonce verification, allowing attacker-chosen settings and script content to be saved. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to interact with attacker-controlled content, after which injected scripts execute in affected pages.
