Platform: WordPress
Version: Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin versions up to 1.7.1001
Vulnerability: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Severity: Medium
Date: November 13, 2024 (Published)
This vulnerability exists due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the plugin’s Countdown widget. This allows attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into web pages. When a user visits such a page, the injected scripts can execute, potentially compromising user data or hijacking sessions.
What Undercode Says:
This vulnerability can be exploited by attackers who already have some access to your WordPress site. It’s crucial to update the Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin to version 1.7.1002 or later to address this issue. Regularly updating plugins and themes is essential for maintaining WordPress security.
Here are some additional tips for WordPress security:
Use strong passwords for all user accounts.
Implement a web application firewall (WAF).
Regularly back up your website.
Be cautious about installing plugins from untrusted sources.
