Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2024-52387 is a stored cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress Master Addons for Elementor plugin. An attacker with high privileges could save malicious content that later runs in another user’s browser. Business urgency is moderate: exposure depends on using this plugin and having untrusted or compromised privileged accounts.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate WordPress plugin risk. Prioritize validation on public-facing or business-critical sites, especially where many administrators, editors, or third-party maintainers have elevated access. Escalate if vendor guidance confirms no fixed version is available.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-79 improper neutralization during page generation in master-addons through version 2.0.9.9.4. CVSS 3.1 is 5.9: network, low complexity, high privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Likely exposure
WordPress sites using Liton Arefin Master Addons for Elementor, package master-addons, at affected versions are the likely exposure. The provided affected-version metadata is incomplete, so confirm against vendor and Patchstack records before concluding a site is safe.
Exploitation context
Sources do not show active exploitation, and the CVE is not marked KEV. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction. The practical concern is stored JavaScript executing when another user views affected content in WordPress.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Patchstack reference. The CVE text states affected through 2.0.9.9.4, while the Patchstack URL mentions 2.0.6.6, so version boundaries should be verified. No exploit details, patch version, or active exploitation evidence were provided.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Master Addons for Elementor plugin.
- Check installed plugin versions against vendor and Patchstack guidance.
- Update or remediate only according to confirmed vendor guidance.
- Limit high-privilege WordPress accounts to trusted users.
- Consider disabling the plugin if affected and no vendor fix is available.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether master-addons is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed version and compare it to the CVE affected range.
- Review vendor or Patchstack advisories for fixed-version details.
- Check admin content areas for unexpected stored scripts or unusual edits.
- Verify remediation in staging before production deployment.
