AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in its Media Grid widget due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary scripts via insufficiently sanitized user input. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 4.10.52. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. There is no patch or official fix currently documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the Media Grid widget. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of other users viewing the infected pages, such as theft of session tokens or manipulation of page content. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild at this time.
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 limiting use of the Media Grid widget. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories to apply patches promptly once available.
