CVE-2024-2455: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in BDThemes Element Pack Pro - Addon for Elementor Page Builder WordPress Plugin
The Element Pack - Addon for Elementor Page Builder WordPress Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the widget wrapper link URL in all versions up to, and including, 7.9.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on 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 Element Pack Pro - Addon for Elementor Page Builder WordPress Plugin suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the widget wrapper link URL parameter does not properly sanitize or escape user input, enabling authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This code executes in the context of any user viewing the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 7.9.0. No patch or official fix information is currently provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the widget wrapper link URL. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not allow unauthenticated attackers to exploit it, and it does not impact availability. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
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 vulnerable widget wrapper link URL feature. Monitor for plugin updates from BDThemes and apply them promptly once released.
