CVE-2024-4401 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Elementor Addon Elements WordPress plugin. It affects all versions up to 1.13.5 due to improper neutralization of input in the 'id' and 'eae_slider_animation' parameters. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can exploit this to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability is classified under 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), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.

Successful exploitation allows authenticated contributors or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute when viewed by other users. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity loss, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed in the context of affected users. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected plugin. Monitor for plugin updates from wpvibes and apply them promptly once released.
