CVE-2024-13644 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the DethemeKit for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the De Gallery widget. The vulnerability results from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the compromised pages. The issue affects all versions up to and including 2.1.8. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with attack vector network, low attack complexity, privileges required at the level of contributor, no user interaction needed, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or official fix is currently documented.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the De Gallery widget. When other users access these pages, the scripts execute in their browsers, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as session hijacking or data theft. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

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 limiting use of the De Gallery widget to reduce exposure.
