CVE-2024-2132 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Ultimate Bootstrap Elements for Elementor plugin for WordPress. It arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the Image Widget. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.4.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the Image Widget. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or data exposure limited to the confidentiality and integrity impacts indicated by the CVSS score. There is no indication of availability impact or known exploitation 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 permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Image Widget in the plugin. Monitor for updates from g5theme regarding patches or official mitigations.
