CVE-2024-4643: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in bdthemes Element Pack – Widgets, Templates & Addons for Elementor
The Element Pack Elementor Addons (Header Footer, Template Library, Dynamic Grid & Carousel, Remote Arrows) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘end_redirect_link’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 5.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Element Pack Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'end_redirect_link' parameter. This flaw allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages. The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of user-supplied data. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data. The plugin is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates or manual mitigation.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information and modification of content, impacting confidentiality and integrity. There is no indication of availability impact. No known active exploits have been reported.
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 vulnerable plugin if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
