CVE-2024-8858: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in livemesh Livemesh Addons by Elementor
The Elementor Addons by Livemesh plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘piechart_settings’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.5 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. CVE-2024-47303 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-8858 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Livemesh Addons by Elementor WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 8.5. The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of input in the 'piechart_settings' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability is tracked under CWE-79. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no vendor patch or advisory is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who access the injected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions. The vulnerability does not affect availability and has limited confidentiality and integrity impact as per the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
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 disabling or limiting use of the affected plugin. Monitor official Livemesh or WordPress security advisories for updates.
