The Orbit Fox by ThemeIsle plugin for WordPress (CVE-2024-0508) contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the plugin's Pricing Table Elementor Widget, affecting all versions up to and including 2.10.27. The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Webbernaut, with public disclosure on January 15, 2024 (Wordfence Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied link URLs in the Pricing Table Elementor Widget.

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) (NVD).

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in subsequent versions of the plugin. Users should update their Orbit Fox by ThemeIsle plugin to a version newer than 2.10.27. The fix includes improved input sanitization and output escaping for the link URL field in the Pricing Table Elementor Widget (WordPress Patch).
