CVE-2024-5092 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Elegant Addons for elementor WordPress plugin (up to version 1.0.8). The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the Switcher, Slider, and Iconbox widgets, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript. This occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes. The vulnerability can lead to script execution in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts into pages via vulnerable widgets. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not impact availability but affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

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 avoiding use of the vulnerable widgets (Switcher, Slider, Iconbox). Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin maintainers regarding official patches or mitigations.
