CVE-2024-0823

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Exclusive Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.6.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Link To url in carousels due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.6.8, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the carousel feature and the Link To url field to minimize the risk of exploitation.
