CVE-2024-11829: The Plus Addons for Elementor – Elementor Addons, Page Templates, Widgets, Mega Menu, WooCommerce <= 6.1.8 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

The The Plus Addons for Elementor – Elementor Addons, Page Templates, Widgets, Mega Menu, WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Table Widget's searchable_label parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

A logged-in WordPress user with Contributor-level access or higher could store malicious script content through The Plus Addons for Elementor Table Widget. The script may run when someone views the affected page. This is not listed in KEV, and the provided sources do not show active exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat this as a routine but time-bound WordPress plugin remediation. Prioritize sites with many content contributors, shared accounts, or privileged third-party access.

Technical view

CVE-2024-11829 is a stored cross-site scripting issue in the searchable_label parameter of the Table Widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor through 6.1.8. The root cause is insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4 with low privileges required.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites running the plugin at version 6.1.8 or earlier, especially where Contributor or higher accounts are untrusted, shared, or compromised.

Exploitation context

The issue requires authenticated access, not anonymous internet access. Successful abuse could affect visitors or administrators who view an injected page. The supplied sources do not establish public exploit use or active exploitation.

Researcher notes

The evidence supports stored XSS via Table Widget searchable_label and Contributor-plus privileges. The 6.2.0 WordPress Trac comparison appears relevant to remediation, but the provided bundle does not include a formal fixed-version statement beyond affected versions through 6.1.8.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade the plugin to a release newer than 6.1.8 per vendor guidance.
  • Restrict Contributor and higher roles to trusted users only.
  • Review recently modified pages using the Table Widget.
  • Remove suspicious widget content after updating.
  • Monitor WordPress account and page-edit activity.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory WordPress sites using The Plus Addons for Elementor.
  • Confirm installed plugin versions are not 6.1.8 or earlier.
  • Identify pages using the Table Widget.
  • Review Contributor, Author, Editor, and Administrator account assignments.
  • Check vendor or Wordfence guidance for fixed-release details.
