CVE-2024-4156

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.9.17

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the eael event text color parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions 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, 5.9.17, update to a version higher than 5.9.17 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the eael event text color parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
