CVE-2024-3647: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in leap13 Premium Addons for Elementor – Powerful Elementor Templates & Widgets
The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's post ticker widget in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.28 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires the premium version of the plugin to be installed and activated in order to be exploited.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in its post ticker widget. This occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user input before rendering it on web pages. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 4.10.28 and requires the premium plugin to be active. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, indicating a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the browsers of users who visit those pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of session tokens or modification of displayed content. There is no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and the premium plugin, limiting the attack surface.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently confirmed for this vulnerability. Users should check the vendor's advisory or plugin updates regularly for an official fix. Until a patch is available, restrict contributor-level access and above to trusted users only and consider disabling or uninstalling the premium version of the plugin if feasible to reduce risk.
