CVE-2024-0977 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Timeline Widget For Elementor (Elementor Timeline, Vertical & Horizontal Timeline) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via image URLs in the plugin's timeline widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
