The Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) identified as CVE-2024-0823. This vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of input in the 'Link To' URL attribute of carousel components, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. The injected scripts execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side impacts. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges and user interaction. No vendor patch or remediation guidance is currently available, and no known exploits have been reported.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'Link To' URL in carousels. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the context of the affected site. The vulnerability does not impact availability but affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited degree. Since exploitation requires authenticated access and user interaction, the risk is moderate.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the carousel 'Link To' URL feature if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin maintainers regarding patches or official mitigations.
