CVE-2025-13368
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 · uneditedThe Xpro Addons — 140+ Widgets for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Pricing Widget's 'onClick Event' setting in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.20 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Xpro Addons plugin is installedLog in to WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and locate Xpro Addons in the list. Note the installed version number displayed.Affected if The plugin is installed and active.
-
Confirm plugin version against vulnerable rangeCompare the installed version number to the affected versions (any version prior to the fixed release). The version is visible in the Plugins page or can be checked via FTP in the plugin's main file header.Affected if The installed version falls within the vulnerable range.
-
Identify pages using the Pricing WidgetReview your WordPress pages and posts for instances where the Xpro Addons Pricing Widget has been added. Check each page editor or use a plugin scanner to list all widget instances.Affected if Any page or post contains the Pricing Widget element.
-

Examine the stored value for any script tags, javascript: URIs, alert() calls, or other suspicious JavaScript patterns.Affected if The onClick Event field contains unsanitized JavaScript code such as <script>, javascript:, or alert().
A user is affected if Xpro Addons is installed with a vulnerable version and any page uses the Pricing Widget with a suspicious onClick Event setting.
