CVE-2024-6627: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in thehappymonster Happy Addons for Elementor
The Happy Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's PDF View widget in all versions up to, and including, 3.11.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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
CVE-2024-6627 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Happy Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the PDF View widget. The flaw is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or above to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 3.11.2. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch or remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to information disclosure, session hijacking, or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires user interaction (visiting the injected page). The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required.
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 PDF View widget if feasible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin maintainers regarding patches or official mitigations.
