CVE-2026-12869 PUBLISHED

Header Footer Builder for Elementor < 1.2.1 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Template Import

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 22.06.2026 Published: 16.07.2026 Updated: 16.07.2026

The Header Footer Builder for Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.2.1 does not require an administrative capability for its dashboard template-import action (it allows any edit_posts user), so a Contributor can import a template containing an Elementor HTML widget configured to display site-wide, injecting JavaScript that executes in the session of any visitor or administrator who loads the site.
