The vulnerability was identified on June 28, 2024, and tracked as CVE-2024-35656. The issue stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the plugin (WPScan).
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) and has received varying CVSS scores: a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.1 (Medium) according to NIST and 7.1 (High) according to Patchstack. The vulnerability vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, indicating that it is network-accessible, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges, but does require user interaction (NVD, Patchstack).
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that execute when users perform specific actions, such as clicking on a malicious link. This could lead to the potential injection of malicious scripts, redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads that execute when visitors access the affected site (Patchstack).
The vulnerability has been patched in Elementor Pro version 3.21.3. Users are advised to update to this version or later to resolve the security issue. Additionally, Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to mitigate this issue by blocking potential attacks until users can update to the fixed version (Patchstack).
