CVE-2024-13649 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Xpro Addons — 140+ Widgets for Elementor WordPress plugin. It affects all versions up to and including 1.4.6.7. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the injected page, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the context of the affected site. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via vulnerable widgets. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of other users viewing the injected content, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling further attacks. There is no indication of impact on system availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.

No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin if possible to reduce risk.
