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-2021-24256 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Elementor – Header, Footer \u0026 Blocks Template. 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-2021-24256/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24256/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24256","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24256/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24256","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8f44-ww46-87xp"],"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 executing code in other users' browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"elementor_-_header\\,_footer_\\\u0026_blocks_template","vendor":"brainstormforce"}],"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 “Elementor – Header, Footer \u0026 Blocks Template” WordPress Plugin before 1.5.8 has two widgets that are vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) by lower-privileged users such as contributors, all 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":"Elementor - Header, Footer \u0026 Blocks Template \u003c 1.5.8 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24256","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Premium Addons for Elementor \u003c 4.2.8 - Contributor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24257"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c 4.5.4 - Contributor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24255"},"products":["Elementor – Header, Footer \u0026 Blocks Template"],"published":"2021-05-05","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Elementor – Header, Footer \u0026 Blocks Template","id":"CVE-2024-33933","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-22"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Ultimate Addons for Elementor","id":"CVE-2024-5757","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-13"}],"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 executing code in other users' browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24256/"}
