CVE-2024-9868

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Element Pack Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.10.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the url parameter in the Age Gate Widget, caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.10.1, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Age Gate Widget or disabling the url parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
