AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-4618 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Exclusive Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the Team Member widget. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'url' attribute, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to data theft or session hijacking. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.6.9.6 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).
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the Team Member widget. When other users access these pages, the scripts execute in their browsers, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity impacts. Availability is not affected. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the published date.
Mitigation Recommendations
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 removing the Team Member widget if possible to reduce exposure.
