CVE-2025-62082

Vulnerability

Overview CVE-2025-62082 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Generic Elements for Elementor plugin by Nasir Uddin, affecting versions from n/a through 1.2.9. The root cause is improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript that persists on the server [1].

Exploitation

Requirements for exploitation require a privileged user role (e.g., author or editor) to perform an action such as submitting a form or clicking a crafted link. This user interaction is necessary for the attack to succeed [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation enables an attacker to inject malicious scripts, including redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads. These scripts execute in the context of any visitor's browser when they access the compromised page, leading to potential data theft, session hijacking, or defacement [1].

Mitigation

The vulnerability is addressed in a patched version (likely 1.3.0 or later). Users are strongly advised to update the plugin immediately. If updating is not possible, contacting the hosting provider or a web developer for assistance is recommended [1].
