CVE-2024-2751: CWE-20 Improper Input Validation in timstrifler Exclusive Addons for Elementor
The Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘exad_infobox_animating_mask_style’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.9.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or higher, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-2751 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Exclusive Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to 2.6.9.2. The issue is due to improper input validation (CWE-20) on the 'exad_infobox_animating_mask_style' parameter, which allows authenticated users with contributor or higher roles to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts are stored and executed in the context of pages viewed by other users, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability does not require user interaction (UI:N) and has a low attack complexity (AC:L), but requires privileges (PR:L).
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable parameter. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the infected pages, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of user sessions or data. The vulnerability does not impact availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected plugin. Monitor official vendor channels for updates regarding patches or mitigations.
