Contributor-level stored XSS via unsanitized widget input
Published May 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Fancy Elementor Flipbox 2.4.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through the flipbox widget. The widget accepts attacker-controlled content without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping, then stores it in a page rendered by WordPress. Contributor-level access is required, and the injected script runs in a visitor's browser when that visitor opens the affected page, enabling actions or data access within that visitor's session.
