AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-3718 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 5.5.4. The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in multiple widgets, enabling authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability is linked to CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). There is no vendor advisory or patch information currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity loss, such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. The vulnerability does not impact availability. No known exploits are reported 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 vulnerable widgets. Monitor official posimyththemes communications for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
