CVE-2024-2666
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Bullet List Widget in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.24 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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 and attempts to edit the content.

dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Premium Addons for Elementor is installedNavigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and locate Premium Addons for Elementor in the installed plugins listAffected if The plugin is not listed means it is not installed and therefore not affected
