CVE-2024-2792: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress (CVE-2024-2792) contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability affecting all versions up to and including 1.13.2. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on April 9, 2024, impacting the WordPress plugin's widget functionality (NVD).

The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's widgets. It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) by NIST with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, while Wordfence assessed it at 6.5 (Medium) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N (NVD).

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation (NVD).

The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with at least contributor-level privileges to exploit. The attack vector is network-accessible and requires low attack complexity, making it relatively straightforward to exploit for authenticated users (NVD).

Users should update their Elementor Addon Elements plugin to version 1.13.3 or later, which contains patches for this vulnerability (Wordfence).
