CVE-2024-1413 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Exclusive Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically affecting the Countdown Timer widget in versions up to 2.6.9. The flaw is due to 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 visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, indicating medium severity. No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.

An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the compromised pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and does not involve user interaction beyond visiting the affected page.

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 Countdown Timer widget in the Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
