Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2024-51675 is a DOM-based cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress aThemes Addons for Elementor Lite plugin through version 1.0.7. A successful attack could let malicious script run in a user's browser, potentially affecting page integrity or session-related data. The source bundle does not show active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate-priority web risk. Prioritize public WordPress sites, especially those with multiple editors or business-critical pages. It should be remediated in normal patch cycles, faster if the plugin is broadly deployed or exposed to untrusted contributors.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-79 improper neutralization during web page generation in athemes-addons-for-elementor-lite. CVSS 3.1 is 6.5 with network attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, changed scope, and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely on WordPress sites using aThemes Addons for Elementor Lite version 1.0.7 or earlier. Sites not using this plugin, or using versions outside the affected range, are not indicated as affected by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The provided sources do not identify CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation is remote but requires low privileges and user interaction, which reduces urgency compared with unauthenticated server-side compromise.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Patchstack reference in the source bundle. No exploit details, fixed version, or active exploitation evidence is provided. Validate against installed plugin versions and vendor guidance before concluding remediation status.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for athemes-addons-for-elementor-lite usage.
- Check vendor, WordPress plugin, or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Update the plugin if a fixed version is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin if no safe update is available.
- Limit plugin/content editing access until remediation is complete.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether each WordPress site has the plugin installed.
- Record the installed plugin version on each site.
- Flag versions 1.0.7 or earlier as potentially affected.
- Verify the plugin is updated, disabled, or removed.
- Review recent content changes for unexpected script-like modifications.

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.
