Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Essential Addons for Elementor – Best Elementor Addon, Templates, Widgets, Kits & WooCommerce Builders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the eael_pricing_item_tooltip_content parameter of the Pricing Table Widget in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Essential Addons for Elementor plugin's Pricing Table Widget. The eael_pricing_item_tooltip_content parameter accepts user input without proper sanitization and outputs it without escaping, allowing authenticated contributor+ users to inject malicious JavaScript that executes when other users view affected pages.

MitigationUpdate to version 6.1.13 or later which includes proper input sanitization and output escaping. Until then, restrict contributor-level access and review existing pages using the Pricing Table Widget.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Essential Addons for Elementor is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory or wp-admin/plugins.php for 'Essential Addons for Elementor' by WPDeveloper
    Affected if Plugin is present in the installation
  2. Check installed plugin version
    View the plugin details in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the plugin main file header for version number
    Affected if Version is below 6.1.13 (e.g., 6.1.12, 6.1.0, 5.x.x, etc.)
  3. Identify pages using the Pricing Table Widget
    Search your WordPress pages and posts for the shortcode [eael_pricing_table] or check Elementor templates for the Pricing Table Widget, or query the postmeta table for meta_value containing 'eael-pricing-table'
    Affected if Any page or post contains the Pricing Table Widget from this plugin
  4. Check for contributor-level user accounts
    Navigate to WordPress Users admin panel and review user roles, or query the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables for users with 'contributor' role
    Affected if At least one user account has contributor-level access or higher (contributor, author, editor, administrator)
