CVE-2024-10325: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in brainstormforce Ultimate Addons for Elementor
The Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via REST API SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.45 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2024-10325 affects the Ultimate Addons for Elementor plugin, specifically the Elementor Header & Footer Builder component. It allows stored cross-site scripting through SVG file uploads via the REST API. Authenticated users with Author-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary scripts into SVG files, which execute when other users access these files. This occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape input and output related to SVG uploads. The issue impacts all versions up to 1.6.45. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required at the Author level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Author-level access to inject malicious scripts into SVG files that execute in the context of users viewing those files. This can lead to unauthorized actions or data disclosure limited to the privileges of the affected users. The impact is rated medium based on the CVSS score and the requirement for authenticated access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG uploads if possible. Monitor for updates from Brainstormforce regarding a security patch or official mitigation instructions.
