CVE-2026-9243

The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin's Carousel Anything widget contains a security flaw affecting versions up to 6.4.15. Specifically, the render() function fails to properly sanitize the 'carousel_direction' parameter, allowing malicious code to be embedded in HTML attributes. As a result, authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary scripts that will run when accessed by other users.
