Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a reflected XSS flaw in the WordPress Mighty Addons for Elementor plugin through version 1.9.3. An attacker could cause script execution in a user's browser if that user follows attacker-controlled content. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or a confirmed fixed version.
Executive priority
Prioritize identification and remediation on public WordPress sites, especially those used by administrators or customer-facing teams. The issue is high severity but source evidence does not confirm active exploitation or a named patch, so remediation should follow verified vendor guidance.
Technical view
CVE-2024-24846 is CWE-79 improper input neutralization during page generation in MightyThemes Mighty Addons for Elementor. It is network-reachable, low complexity, unauthenticated, and requires user interaction. CVSS 3.1 is 7.1 high with changed scope and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites using Mighty Addons for Elementor versions up to and including 1.9.3. Sites without this plugin, or with versions outside the affected range, are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The bundle marks CISA KEV as false and provides no cited evidence of exploitation in the wild. Reflected XSS typically depends on a user interacting with crafted content, so urgency is highest where WordPress admins or privileged users may be targeted.
Researcher notes
The available data identifies reflected XSS through version 1.9.3 but does not include vulnerable parameters, proof-of-concept detail, exploitation telemetry, or fixed-version information. Avoid assuming exploitation or remediation beyond the cited records.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Mighty Addons for Elementor plugin.
- Treat versions up to and including 1.9.3 as affected.
- Check MightyThemes, WordPress plugin, or Patchstack guidance for a confirmed fix.
- Upgrade when a vendor-supported fixed release is confirmed.
- Disable or remove the plugin where no supported remediation is available.
- Review web application controls for XSS filtering and suspicious referral patterns.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether `mighty-addons` is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed Mighty Addons for Elementor version.
- Verify any remediation against vendor or Patchstack guidance.
- Check security logs for unusual requests targeting plugin-generated pages.
- Retest affected pages with safe XSS validation methods only.
- Confirm privileged WordPress users have not reported suspicious prompts or redirects.
