Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ECS WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.3.8
Description
Insufficient capability and object-ownership checks in Dynamic Repeater AJAX handlers allow a user with Contributor privileges to inject data-source bindings into any post, including those authored by administrators. Because the values are rendered into a widget's repeater output without proper sanitization, this can lead to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the session of any visitor or administrator viewing the affected page. The handlers are protected only by a capability-agnostic nonce that any user with
edit posts permissions can obtain via the Elementor editor.Recommendations
Update ECS WordPress plugin to version 4.3.8 or later.
