CVE-2024-5341 · published 2 years ago

Summary

The The Plus Addons for Elementor Page Builder plugin for WordPress has a security flaw that lets attackers inject malicious scripts into pages. This can happen when a user with contributor-level access or higher edits a page with the Heading Title widget. To fix this, update the plugin to the latest version or remove and reinstall it.

What to do

Update posimyth the_plus_addons_for_elementor to version 5.5.0 or later.

Affected software

Vendor	Product	Affected versions
posimyth	the_plus_addons_for_elementor	< 5.5.0 `cpe:2.3:a:posimyth:the_plus_addons_for_elementor:::::pro:wordpress::`

Original advisory text

The The Plus Addons for Elementor Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'size' attribute of the Heading Title widget in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
