CVE-2024-2250

Summary

CVE-2024-2250 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the "130+ Widgets | Best Addons For Elementor" plugin for WordPress. The flaw, present in all versions up to 1.4.2, stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's widgets. This weakness allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts that will execute whenever a user visits an injected page. This poses a significant risk, as the vulnerable pages may be accessed by multiple users, potentially leading to widespread code injection.
