Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-2949 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Xpro Addons — 140+ Widgets for Elementor WordPress plugin, specifically in the Icon Box widget. The flaw is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when any user accesses the compromised page, potentially impacting confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.4.24. No patch or official remediation has been documented, and no known exploits have been reported.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions, data theft, or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.

Mitigation Recommendations
