CVE-2024-12189

The WDesignKit – Elementor & Gutenberg Starter Templates, Patterns, Cloud Workspace & Widget Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via custom widgets in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.3 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. Please note that you may need to recreate any custom widgets or reinstall the plugin to ensure the issue is adequately patched.
