Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2024-50543 is a DOM-based cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress plugin “amazing neo icon font for elementor” through version 2.0.1. A logged-in low-privilege attacker may need a user interaction path to run unwanted script in a victim’s browser. Business risk is moderate for sites using this plugin.
Executive priority
Handle during normal vulnerability management, sooner for public WordPress sites with many contributors or sensitive logged-in workflows. No source indicates active exploitation.
Technical view
The CVE maps to CWE-79 with CVSS 3.1 score 6.5: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. The source bundle identifies DOM-based XSS in package amazing-neo-icon-font-for-elementor through <=2.0.1. No CPEs, fixed version, or detailed vulnerable sink/source path are provided.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with the amazing neo icon font for elementor plugin installed at version 2.0.1 or earlier.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not show KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. CVSS indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, required low privileges, and required user interaction.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sufficient for product, vulnerability class, affected version range, and CVSS. Evidence is incomplete for exploit mechanics, fixed version, and vendor patch status. Avoid assuming a remediation beyond checking official guidance or removing the plugin.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for this plugin and version.
- Check vendor, WordPress, or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Disable or remove the plugin if it is not business-critical.
- Reduce unnecessary low-privilege WordPress accounts on affected sites.
- Monitor affected sites for suspicious admin or editor activity.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed and enabled.
- Record the exact plugin version on each WordPress site.
- Flag versions 2.0.1 and earlier as potentially affected.
- Check remediation status against Patchstack or vendor guidance.
- Review logs for unusual low-privilege account activity.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
