CVE-2024-2091

Summary

CVE-2024-2091 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress. The flaw, present in all versions up to 1.13.1, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level or higher permissions to inject malicious scripts into the plugin's widgets. These scripts are executed whenever a user accesses an injected page, posing a significant security risk.
