CVE-2024-4669 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Events Addon for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 2.1.4. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the Basic Slider, Upcoming Events, and Schedule widgets. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via vulnerable widgets. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as data theft or session compromise. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.

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. Monitor updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress plugin repository for patches addressing this vulnerability. Avoid using the affected widgets if possible or apply manual input validation and output escaping as a temporary measure.
