CVE-2024-7147: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Crocoblock JetBlocks for Elementor
The JetBlocks for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple placeholder parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.12 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
The JetBlocks for Elementor plugin suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary JavaScript into placeholder parameters. These scripts execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.3.12. No vendor advisory or patch links are currently available, and the plugin is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates or user action.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. The vulnerability does not impact availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:L/I:L/A:N). No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the JetBlocks for Elementor plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from Crocoblock regarding patches or security advisories.
