AI Analysis

Impact

The MarqueeAddons plugin for WordPress contains a stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw in its Testimonial Marquee widget across all versions up to and including 2.4.3. Input provided by users is not properly sanitized or escaped, enabling an authenticated contributor or higher to embed arbitrary scripts into the widget. These scripts execute for every visitor who loads a page containing the malicious widget, allowing the attacker to run code in the users' browsers.

Affected Systems

DebuggersStudio’s Marquee Addons for Elementor – Essential Motion Widgets & Templates. Versions 2.4.3 and earlier are affected. All earlier releases share the same widget implementation, so they are likewise vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting a low current exploitation likelihood. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must have contributor‑level or higher credentials to inject the payload; once injected, the malicious scripts run for all site visitors who view pages containing the widget. The impact is limited to the affected WordPress site and depends on the widget being displayed on publicly viewable content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Marquee Addons for Elementor to a version newer than 2.4.3
  • Restrict contributor‑level accounts from editing the Testimonial Marquee widget until the update is applied
  • Remove or disable the Testimonial Marquee widget from sites that cannot be updated immediately, and delete any entries that may contain injected content
  • If desired, implement a content‑security‑policy that blocks inline script execution to provide additional mitigation
