Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a Royal Elementor Addons form (version before 1.7.1070) whose notification email recipient field is explicitly configured to echo a submitted form value - this is the exact precondition stated in the description and is a non-default setup, so sites using only static/hardcoded recipient addresses are not affected. When that configuration is present, the attack is remote and unauthenticated against a public form (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N), with no further user interaction needed. The limiting factor is therefore the recipient-field-echo configuration rather than authentication; impact is bounded to integrity (email relay/spoofing from the site's domain), with no confidentiality or availability consequence.

Impact

This is a moderate, not emergency, issue and the signals are internally consistent. The supplied CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 5.3) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw whose only impact is a limited integrity effect - the plugin builds notification-email recipient addresses from unvalidated submitted form values, letting an attacker redirect and relay mail from the site's domain; there is no confidentiality or availability impact (C:N/A:N). There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score in the input, so widespread automated exploitation is not evidenced. A public PoC reference exists (WPScan) but it is not verified as working exploit code, so exploit maturity is uncertain. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a real but non-critical priority rather than act_now/emergency. The most important caveat is a conditional precondition baked into the description: exploitation only applies 'when a recipient field is configured to echo a submitted value' - a non-default configuration - which the CVSS PR:N/AC:L metrics do not capture. Net: a genuine abuse-of-trust / email-relay and spoofing concern for affected sites that use that configuration, but a bounded-impact (I:L only) issue, not a high-real-risk code-execution or data-breach vulnerability.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

On a site running a vulnerable Royal Elementor Addons form whose recipient field is configured to echo a user-submitted value, an unauthenticated attacker submits the public form with a crafted field value that overwrites the notification recipient list. The site's mail server then sends attacker-composed email to attacker-chosen recipients from the site's own domain, enabling spoofing/phishing and mail relay. A public PoC reference exists (WPScan) but is not verified as working exploit code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Unauthenticated email relay in the Royal Elementor Addons WordPress plugin before 1.7.1070 allows remote attackers to replace the recipient list of form notification emails and relay attacker-composed messages from the site's own domain. The flaw is only reachable when a form's notification recipient field is explicitly configured to echo a submitted value - a non-default setup - so sites using static or hardcoded recipient addresses are not affected. Impact is bounded to integrity (spoofed or relayed email), with no confidentiality or availability consequence, giving a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3; a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Update Royal Elementor Addons to 1.7.1070 or later; the vendor patch is available (Vendor-released patch: 1.7.1070), so upgrade through the WordPress dashboard's plugin update mechanism or the wordpress.org plugin repository and verify the installed version afterwards. For sites that cannot update immediately, the configuration-level workaround is to stop echoing submitted values in the notification recipient field and use static or hardcoded recipient addresses instead - the trade-off is that any dynamic routing of notifications to a visitor-supplied or per-record address stops working. Because the precondition is that specific recipient-field configuration, an inventory of Elementor forms using a submitted value as a recipient will tell you which sites are actually exposed. Advisory details are at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/a93f2619-572d-4432-bf7d-f3f691c30086/; no additional compensating controls are stated in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Royal Elementor Addons is a WordPress plugin that extends the Elementor page builder with form widgets and notification handling; its form submissions are processed by WordPress and dispatched through the site's configured mail path (typically wp_mail/PHP mail). The defect is that submitted form field values are substituted into the recipient addresses of notification emails without validation, so a value supplied by an anonymous visitor can alter where a notification is delivered and shape the resulting message so that it originates from the site's own domain. No CWE identifier was supplied with this record, but the failure mode sits in the mail-header/recipient-injection class, where unvalidated user input reaches address fields rather than message bodies. The supplied CPE (cpe:2.3:a:unknown:royal_elementor_addons, with the version component wildcarded) does not resolve a vendor or pin a precise version range, so the authoritative version bound comes from the EUVD entry (0 < 1.7.1070) and the reported fixed release. The trigger beyond the recipient-field-echo configuration is not described in the available sources.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Royal Elementor Addons WordPress plugin before 1.7.1070 does not validate submitted form field values before substituting them into the recipient addresses of its form notification emails, allowing unauthenticated attackers to replace the recipient list and relay attacker-composed email from the site's own domain when a recipient field is configured to echo a submitted value.
