CVE-2024-5530: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2024-5530 affects the ShopLentor – WooCommerce Builder for Elementor & Gutenberg +12 Modules plugin for WordPress. The vulnerability was discovered in versions up to and including 2.9.0, and was disclosed on June 11, 2024. This is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability that exists in the plugin's WL: Product Horizontal Filter widget (Wordfence).

The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the WL: Product Horizontal Filter widget. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/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 a user accesses the compromised page (NVD).

The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with at least contributor-level privileges to exploit. The attack complexity is considered low, requiring network access but no special conditions or user interaction for successful exploitation (Wordfence).

A fix has been implemented in the plugin's source code as evidenced by the changes in version 2.9.1, which includes proper escaping of user-supplied attributes (WordPress Plugin).
