CVE-2024-5188

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Essential Addons for Elementor – Best Elementor Templates, Widgets, Kits & WooCommerce Builders plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.9.22

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the get manual calendar events function 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, 5.9.22, update to a version higher than 5.9.22 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the get manual calendar events function until a patch is available. Additionally, ensure that all user input is properly sanitized and validated to prevent malicious script injections.
