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 · moderate confidence

DOM-Based Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Elementor Website Builder allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript through improper handling of user-supplied input in the browser's DOM. The vulnerability exists in versions up to and including 3.35.5, where the application fails to sanitize input before using it in DOM manipulation operations.

MitigationUpdate Elementor Website Builder to the latest version (3.35.6 or later) which should contain the security patch. Until patched, warn users against clicking untrusted links containing Elementor URLs.

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. Identify installed Elementor version
    In WordPress admin, go to Elementor > About or check the plugins page to view the installed Elementor Website Builder version number
    Affected if The version displayed is 3.35.5 or lower (any version up to and including 3.35.5)
  2. Verify Elementor is active on the site
    Check WordPress plugins page to confirm Elementor Website Builder plugin is installed and activated
    Affected if Elementor plugin is active and version cannot be determined or is confirmed vulnerable
  3. Check WordPress access logs for XSS indicators
    Review web server access logs (Apache/Nginx) for requests containing script tags, javascript:, or other XSS payloads in URL parameters pointing to Elementor-related paths
    Affected if Suspicious XSS payload requests are found in logs targeting the Elementor endpoint
  4. Inspect browser console for DOM XSS evidence
    If you have admin access, navigate to a page edited with Elementor and open browser developer tools console to look for any unexpected script executions or errors
    Affected if Unexpected JavaScript execution occurs without explicit admin action
  5. Review Content Security Policy headers
    Check response headers from the site to see if Content-Security-Policy header is present and properly configured to block inline scripts
    Affected if CSP is missing or allows inline scripts, increasing exploitability
  6. Check for recent unauthorized changes
    Review Elementor editor history or WordPress revision logs for any unexpected page template or content changes made by unknown users
    Affected if Unauthorized modifications to pages or templates are found

The environment is affected if Elementor Website Builder version 3.35.5 or lower is installed, as this version contains the DOM-based XSS vulnerability in input handling.
