CVE-2024-1465 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Livemesh Addons by Elementor WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 8.3.4. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'carousel_skin' attribute of the Posts Carousel widget, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the compromised pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The impact is limited by the need for authenticated access with contributor privileges or above. There is no indication of denial of service or system-level compromise.

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 Posts Carousel widget with the 'carousel_skin' attribute. Monitor for plugin updates from Livemesh and apply official patches promptly when released.
