Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24255 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wpdeveloper Essential Addons for Elementor. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24255/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24255/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24255","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24255/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24255","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fvwh-f8rp-cqjc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Lower-privileged users can inject malicious scripts via vulnerable widgets, potentially leading to code execution in the context of other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"essential_addons_for_elementor","vendor":"wpdeveloper"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Essential Addons for Elementor Lite WordPress Plugin before 4.5.4 has two widgets that are vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) by lower-privileged users such as contributors, both via a similar method.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c 4.5.4 - Contributor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24255","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wpdeveloper:essential_addons_for_elementor","products":["wpdeveloper:essential_addons_for_elementor"],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Elementor - Header, Footer \u0026 Blocks Template \u003c 1.5.8 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24256"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"College Publisher Import \u003c= 0.1 - Arbitrary File Upload to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24254"},"products":["Essential Addons for Elementor"],"published":"2021-05-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress Essential Addons for Elementor Plugin 5.4.0-5.7.1 is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-32243","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c 5.0.5 - Unauthenticated LFI","id":"CVE-2022-0320","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c= 4.6.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2021-4447","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WordPress Essential Addons for Elementor plugin \u003c= 5.8.8 - Contributor+ Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c= 5.9.13 - Authenticated (Author+) PHP Object Injection via error_resetpassword","id":"CVE-2024-3018","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates \u0026 Widgets","id":"CVE-2024-8979","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-15"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates \u0026 Widgets","id":"CVE-2024-1536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Lower-privileged users can inject malicious scripts via vulnerable widgets, potentially leading to code execution in the context of other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24255/"}
