Stored XSS via unescaped Creative Button icon
Published Sep 23, 2026 · Updated Sep 23, 2026
Stored XSS in HappyAddons for Elementor before 3.50.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript via a crafted icon value. The Creative Button widget writes its icon setting into an HTML attribute without escaping, leaving an injected event-handler attribute executable. Contributor-level access is required, and the script runs in the site origin when anyone, including a higher-privileged reviewer, views the saved page.
