CVE-2024-11600: borderless vulnerability

What is known

The Borderless – Widgets, Elements, Templates and Toolkit for Elementor & Gutenberg plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.0 via the 'write_config' function. This is due to a lack of sanitization on an imported JSON file. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to execute code on the server.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-11600, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.2) affecting borderless, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether borderless is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
