CVE-2024-9068 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the OneElements – Best Elementor Addons WordPress plugin caused by improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape SVG file uploads, allowing authenticated users with Author-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute whenever a user views the affected SVG files, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.3.7. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

An attacker with Author-level or higher privileges can upload malicious SVG files containing scripts that execute in the context of users viewing those files. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as session theft or manipulation of site content. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity, with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires authenticated access, reducing the attack surface compared to unauthenticated exploits.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG uploads if possible.
