CVE-2024-4862 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the WPBITS Addons For Elementor Page Builder plugin for WordPress. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79), allowing authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary scripts via several widgets. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.5. No patch or official fix details are currently available.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the browsers of users who view those pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking limited to the privileges of the affected users. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity impact with low complexity and no user interaction required beyond authentication.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the vulnerable widgets. Monitor official wpbits communications for updates on patches or mitigations.
