Authenticated stored script execution in rendered widgets
Published Aug 1, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Modernaweb Studio Black Widgets For Elementor 1.3.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run script in visitors' browsers. The vendor identifies all widgets as the affected locus, but public records do not identify which widget input is stored without adequate sanitization or output encoding. A low-privileged WordPress account can supply the content, and exploitation occurs when another user views the rendered widget.
