CVE-2024-2308 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the ElementInvader Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.2.2. The flaw exists in the EliSlider button link functionality, where insufficient sanitization and escaping of user input allows authenticated users with contributor or higher roles to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.

An attacker with contributor or higher privileges can store malicious scripts in pages via the vulnerable button link in EliSlider. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the context of the affected site. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits 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 released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation.
