- CVE-2026-17565, 19 Aug 2026
- The Animation Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 2.7.2 does not validate a user-supplied value before using it to build the host of a server-side HTTP request, allowing unauthenticated users to make the site issue requests to internal hosts and read the responses back. CVE record
- CVE-2026-13330, 30 Jul 2026
- The Animation Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 2.7.0 does not sanitise uploaded SVG/SVGZ files, which it adds to the list of allowed upload types, allowing users with the upload_files capability (Author and above) to upload files containing malicious JavaScript, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. CVE record
- CVE-2026-15299, 10 Jul 2026
- The Animation Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'weather_style' and 'move_direction' parameters of the Weather widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3. This is due to insufficient output escaping in the Weather widget's render() function at widgets/weather.php:1246, where both settings values are placed into an HTML class attribute without esc_attr(). Elementor does not server-side validate widget SELECT control values against allowed options on save, so an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or above can submit a crafted save_builder AJAX request storing arbitrary values in the _elementor_data post meta. The stored payload renders unescaped on every frontend visit to the affected page (the Weather widget requires an OpenWeatherMap API key to reach the vulnerable output, which is the normal operational state for sites using this widget). CVE record
- CVE-2025-8444, 10 Jun 2026
- The Animation Addons for Elementor - GSAP Powered Elementor Addons & Website Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the multiple parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.7 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. CVE record
- CVE-2024-12340, 18 Dec 2024
- The Animation Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6 via the 'render' function in widgets/content-slider.php and widgets/tabs.php. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive private, pending, and draft Elementor template data. CVE record
