CVE-2024-0334: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jegtheme Jeg Kit for Elementor – Powerful Addons for Elementor, Widgets & Templates for WordPress
The Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the custom attribute of a link in several Elementor widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the plugin fails to adequately sanitize and escape the custom attribute of links in multiple Elementor widgets. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.6.4 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting a medium severity. No patch or vendor advisory has been provided to date.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable plugin's custom link attributes. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not impact availability but can compromise confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data within the affected WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Jeg Elementor Kit plugin if feasible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply any official patches promptly once available.
