Vulnerability Overview

The Element Pack Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the link URL in versions up to, and including, 5.5.3 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. This appears to be a duplicate of CVE-2024-1429.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.5.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
