CVE-2024-5757: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in brainstormforce Ultimate Addons for Elementor
The Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the url attribute within the plugin's Site Title widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.35 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2024-5757) involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79) in the Ultimate Addons for Elementor plugin by brainstormforce. Specifically, the Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin's Site Title widget improperly sanitizes and escapes the url attribute, allowing stored cross-site scripting attacks. Authenticated users with Contributor-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the compromised pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, as indicated by the CVSS vector (Confidentiality: Low, Integrity: Low, Availability: None). The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.6.35. There is no patch or official fix referenced in the provided data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the url attribute in the Site Title widget. When other users access these pages, the scripts execute in their browsers, potentially leading to theft of user data or session tokens, or other actions within the scope of the victim's privileges. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity risk.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official patch or fix is referenced, users should monitor brainstormforce's communications for updates. In the meantime, restrict Contributor-level access carefully and consider disabling or avoiding use of the Site Title widget's url attribute if possible to reduce risk.
