MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to deliver a crafted URL whose parameter is reflected without neutralization into the plugin-generated web page, and requires a victim to actively open that link (UI:R) in a browser - ideally an authenticated site user or administrator for maximum impact. The affected component is the Unlimited Elements For Elementor WordPress plugin at versions from n/a through 2.0.26 running on a WordPress site, so WordPress with this plugin installed and reachable is a prerequisite. The precise vulnerable parameter, endpoint, or feature is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors: the dependence on victim interaction prevents fully automated server-side compromise, and impact is confined to the browser/site origin (C:L/I:L/A:L); the specific input vector is unverified. |
| Impact | This is a reflected cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79) scored CVSS 7.1 with vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, meaning network-reachable, low-complexity, no privileges required, but dependent on victim interaction (UI:R) and with a scope change (S:C) reflecting execution in the victim's browser context rather than the server. The real-world risk signals are mixed and point to a moderate, not emergency, priority: there is no CISA KEV listing (not confirmed actively exploited), no EPSS score was supplied in the input, and no verified working exploit code is referenced - only a Patchstack advisory entry. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', consistent with a remotely reachable unauthenticated XSS in a widely used plugin but short of 'act_now'/'emergency'. Reflected XSS fundamentally requires an attacker to lure a victim into clicking a crafted link, which materially limits mass automated exploitation compared to stored or unauthenticated-RCE issues, so the 7.1 is a genuine but interaction-gated risk rather than a high-CVSS-but-illusory one. EPSS is missing from the input, so probability-of-exploitation cannot be quantified here; this should be verified against the live EPSS feed before final triage. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious URL targeting the vulnerable plugin endpoint with a payload that is reflected unsanitized into the generated page, then delivers it to a logged-in site user or administrator via phishing, a comment, or a malicious ad. When the victim opens the link in their authenticated browser session, the injected script executes in the site's origin, enabling session/cookie theft, actions on the victim's behalf, or admin-panel manipulation. No public working exploit code is referenced, and successful exploitation depends on the victim clicking the attacker-supplied link (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 04, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) WordPress plugin, affecting versions through 2.0.26, lets remote attackers deliver a crafted URL whose input is reflected unencoded into a page generated by the plugin, so script runs in the browser of whoever opens the link. With CVSS 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), no privileges are needed but the victim must actively interact, and the impact lands in the victim's browser context under the site's origin rather than on the server. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation are identified in the available data, and the specific vulnerable parameter or endpoint has not been published.
RemediationAI
The available data does not identify a vendor-released fixed version for this plugin, so no patched release can be cited; the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-unlimited-elements-for-elementor-free-widgets-addons-templates-plugin-2-0-26-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve should be checked for an updated fixed version before any upgrade target is chosen, and version 2.0.26 is confirmed vulnerable rather than fixed. Until a patched release is confirmed, the exposure is limited to users who follow a crafted link, so the practical containment available from the described evidence is reducing the number of privileged users who can be induced to click untrusted links and verifying whether the plugin is actually installed and active on the site. No further specific workaround or configuration change is stated in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-79, improper neutralization of input during web page generation, in a WordPress plugin that ships Elementor widgets, addons and templates from Unlimited Elements. The plugin builds HTML output that includes a request-supplied value without adequate encoding or escaping, producing a reflected XSS condition rather than a stored one. The assessed vector confirms the mechanics that matter: network reachability (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and a mandatory victim action (UI:R), with a scope change (S:C) because the injected script executes in the victim's browser against the site origin instead of affecting the vulnerable PHP component itself. Confidentiality, integrity and availability impact are each rated Low (C:L/I:L/A:L), consistent with browser-side script execution whose practical severity depends on who clicks the link - an authenticated editor or administrator would yield the greatest leverage. The exact vulnerable parameter, endpoint or feature is not described in the available sources, so the trigger is not verifiable from public data. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:unlimited_elements:unlimited_elements_for_elementor_(free_widgets,_addons,_templates) carries wildcard version fields, so version scoping comes from the stated range (through 2.0.26) rather than from the CPE string.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Unlimited Elements Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) unlimited-elements-for-elementor allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates): from n/a through 2.0.26.

Executive ViewAI
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin (versions through 2.0.26) exposes WordPress site visitors to script injection when they click a crafted link. Although no active exploitation has been observed, the flaw requires no authentication to trigger and can impact the site's reputation, user trust, and potentially lead to session hijacking or data theft from the browser. Security leadership should prioritize remediation because the plugin is widely used and the absence of a patch leaves sites defenseless against future exploit development.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling the plugin, deploying WAF rules to block reflected XSS attempts, enforcing strict Content Security Policy headers, and user awareness training to avoid clicking suspicious links.
