CVE-2024-3161

What is CVE-2024-3161?

The Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress suffers from a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the countdown widget's attributes. This flaw potentially allows authenticated attackers with contributor access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into pages. Consequently, these scripts execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page, posing grave security risks and threats to both site integrity and user safety.
