CVE-2026-13710: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jegtheme Jeg Kit for Elementor – Powerful Addons for Elementor, Widgets & Templates for WordPress
The Jeg Kit for Elementor – Powerful Addons for Elementor, Widgets & Templates for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Image Box widget's 'sg_body_description' parameter in versions up to, and including, 3.2.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the description attribute in the render_body() method of the Image_Box_View class — every other attribute used by the method is wrapped in esc_attr(), but the description value is concatenated directly into HTML body context. 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
CVE-2026-13710 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Jeg Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress, specifically affecting the Image Box widget's 'sg_body_description' parameter. The issue arises because the description attribute is concatenated directly into HTML without proper escaping, unlike other attributes that use esc_attr(). This allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 3.2.6. No official patch or remediation level has been provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the injected content, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not affect availability but impacts confidentiality and integrity of user interactions with the site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Image Box widget's description field. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
