Last modified
CVE-2024-6340 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Countdown widget in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.36 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
