CVE-2024-5416

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.23.4

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the url parameter of multiple widgets due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in Elementor Editor pages.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 3.23.4, update to a version that includes the necessary patches, as version 3.23.2 includes a partial patch for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the url parameter of multiple widgets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
