CVE-2024-1397: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in devitemsllc HT Mega Addons for Elementor – Elementor Widgets & Template Builder
The HT Mega – Absolute Addons For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's blocks in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'titleTag' user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The HT Mega Addons for Elementor plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of user input in the 'titleTag' attribute. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages via plugin blocks. This code executes in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 2.4.6. There is no vendor advisory or patch link available, and no known exploitation has been reported.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated contributors or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the browsers of users who view those pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking but does not impact availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access with contributor-level permissions, limiting the attack surface. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium impact on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the affected plugin if possible. Monitor for plugin updates from devitemsllc addressing this vulnerability.
