Summary
The WPBITS Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widget parameters in versions up to, and including, 1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping when dynamic content is enabled. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
