Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-54704 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress Easy Elementor Addons plugin through version 2.2.6. A successful attack could run attacker-controlled script in a victim’s browser, potentially affecting session data, page integrity, or user trust. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or a named fixed version.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate WordPress application risk. Prioritize internet-facing marketing or customer sites, especially those with multiple content contributors. This should be remediated in the normal vulnerability cycle, faster if untrusted users have authoring access.
Technical view
The issue is described as DOM-based XSS caused by improper input neutralization during web page generation in hashthemes Easy Elementor Addons. CVSS 3.1 is 6.5 with network attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, and changed scope. Evidence identifies versions through 2.2.6 as affected.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running Easy Elementor Addons version 2.2.6 or earlier. Risk is higher where low-privilege authenticated users can create or influence plugin-rendered content and where privileged users may interact with affected pages.
Exploitation context
The bundle marks KEV as false and provides no cited evidence of active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation requires low privileges and user interaction, so this is not described as unauthenticated remote compromise from the supplied evidence.
Researcher notes
Public detail in the bundle is limited. No exploit steps, payloads, fixed release, CPEs, or active exploitation evidence are provided. The most defensible triage is plugin/version identification, privilege review, and monitoring vendor/Patchstack status.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Easy Elementor Addons plugin and recorded version.
- Check vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or official mitigation.
- Update the plugin if an official fixed release is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin where it is unused or no fix is available.
- Limit contributor-level access on affected WordPress sites until resolved.
- Use defense-in-depth controls such as CSP where operationally feasible.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether easy-elementor-addons is installed on each WordPress site.
- Compare installed versions against the affected range: through 2.2.6.
- Review vendor and Patchstack entries for current remediation status.
- Verify only trusted users can create or modify affected Elementor content.
- After remediation, confirm the plugin version changed or the plugin is disabled.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
