CVE-2024-8482: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wproyal Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor
The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘url’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.982 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 Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'url' parameter. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or above to inject malicious scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.3.982 and is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable 'url' parameter. When other users view these pages, the scripts execute in their browsers, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions. The vulnerability does not affect availability. There are no known public exploits currently. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with medium severity.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix has been published yet for this vulnerability. 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 removing or disabling the vulnerable plugin if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
