CVE-2024-1429

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Element Pack Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.6.0

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the tab link attribute of the Panel Slider 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, 5.6.0, update to a version later than 5.6.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Panel Slider widget to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to authorized personnel only.
