CVE-2024-3988: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in shaonsina Sina Extension for Elementor
The Sina Extension for Elementor (Slider, Gallery, Form, Modal, Data Table, Tab, Particle, Free Elementor Widgets & Elementor Templates) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Sina Fancy Text Widget in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.2 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-3988 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Sina Extension for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the Sina Fancy Text Widget. The flaw is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the compromised pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 3.5.2. No official patch or fix has been referenced in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The medium CVSS score (6.4) reflects these impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, limit contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the Sina Fancy Text Widget if possible. Monitor official shaonsina or WordPress plugin channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
