Is Qi Addons For Elementor safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

The Qi Addons For Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.11.2 does not properly sanitise a widget's heading text after decoding HTML entities in it, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to embed live HTML forms, including password fields that submit to an external host, into posts where WordPress would otherwise strip them.

Contributor Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Qi Addons For Elementor <= 1.11 versions.

The Qi Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the Table of Contents widget to be placed on a template that renders on the WordPress search-results page (e.g., a sitewide header or footer template) with the 'Limit ToC to Main Page Content' option left at its default value of No, so the widget scans the search-results heading that reflects the unsanitized `s` parameter.

This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. Please note that this requires an attacker to create a non-existent directory or target an instance where file_exists won't return false with a non-existent directory in the path, in order to successfully exploit.
