Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-13547 is a stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in the aThemes Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the Image Accordion widget. The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user accessing the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 1.0.12. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4, reflecting medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as session hijacking or data theft within the scope of the affected site. The vulnerability does not impact system availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or avoiding use of the Image Accordion widget. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security channels for an official patch or mitigation.
