Who should care

Users of Jeg Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress, particularly those with Contributor-level access and above, should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it.

Technical summary

The Jeg Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Image Box widget's 'sg_body_description' parameter. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the description attribute in the render_body() method of the Image_Box_View class. Every other attribute used by the method is wrapped in esc_attr(), but the description value is concatenated directly into HTML body context. 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.

Defensive priority

Medium priority due to the CVSS score of 6.4 and the potential for authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Update Jeg Kit for Elementor plugin to a version beyond 3.2.6
  • Implement input sanitization and output escaping for the description attribute in the render_body() method of the Image_Box_View class
  • Restrict access to the Image Box widget to prevent authenticated attackers from injecting arbitrary web scripts
  • Monitor for suspicious activity and implement compensating controls to detect and prevent exploitation
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
  • Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
  • Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
