CVE-2024-4478 | Happy Addons for Elementor <= 3.10.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Image Stack Group Widget

The Happy Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Image Stack Group widget in all versions up to, and including, 3.10.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied 'tooltip_position' attribute. 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.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.

Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
