CVE-2024-1391

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.12.12

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the eae custom overlay switcher attribute of the Thumbnail Slider widget. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.12.12, update to a version higher than 1.12.12 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Thumbnail Slider widget until a patch is available. Avoid using the eae custom overlay switcher attribute in the Thumbnail Slider widget until the issue is resolved.
