CVE-2024-1428

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Element Pack Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.5.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the element pack wrapper link attribute of the Trailer Box widget due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows 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.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.5.3, update to a version higher than 5.5.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Trailer Box widget until a patch is available. Restrict access to the element pack wrapper link attribute to minimize the risk of exploitation.
