Description
The JetElements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several widgets in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.2.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The JetElements plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that affects several widgets. The vulnerability allows an attacker with contributor‑level or higher permissions to insert arbitrary JavaScript into user‑supplied widget attributes. When an affected user visits the page where the widget is displayed, the malicious script executes in the victim’s browser and can perform any actions permitted by the script context.

Affected Systems

Crocoblock’s JetElements WordPress plugin is vulnerable in all releases up to and including version 2.7.2.1. Any installation that uses the affected widgets on a WordPress site is at risk. Versions newer than 2.7.2.1 have been patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a medium‑severity risk, while an EPSS score below 1 % signifies a low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the flaw requires authenticated contributor‑level access, the risk is mitigated to the extent that such roles are restricted or inaccessible to potential attackers. Exploitation hinges on the attacker being able to input data into the vulnerable widget attributes, which the code then fails to sanitize before rendering.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade JetElements to a version newer than 2.7.2.1, which removes the unsanitized widget handling.
  • If an upgrade is not possible immediately, delete or disable the vulnerable widgets on all pages to prevent stored scripts from being served.
  • Revoke contributor or higher permissions for users until the plugin is updated or the widgets are removed.
