Network-reachable plugin endpoint (AV:N), no special conditions (AC:L), requires Contributor auth (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N); arbitrary PHP upload yields RCE on the WordPress host beyond the plugin scope (S:C, C/I/A:H).

Contributor Arbitrary File Upload in Unlimited Elements for Elementor (Premium) <= 2.0.6 versions.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file upload in the Unlimited Elements for Elementor (Premium) WordPress plugin versions 2.0.6 and earlier allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges to upload arbitrary files, leading to remote code execution on the underlying WordPress host. Reported by Patchstack and rated CVSS 9.9 with a scope-changing impact, no public exploit identified at time of analysis but the low privilege bar makes this a high-priority issue for any site that permits Contributor accounts.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the Premium edition of the Unlimited Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin (CPE: studio_keren_aga_ltd.:unlimited_elements_for_elementor_(premium)), a widget/template add-on for the Elementor page builder. The root cause is CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) - server-side handlers exposed to authenticated low-privilege users fail to validate file type/extension/content, permitting upload of executable PHP into a web-accessible directory. Because WordPress evaluates PHP in the uploads or plugin directory tree, a single uploaded file is enough to pivot to code execution under the web server user.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - consult the Patchstack entry at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/unlimited-elements-for-elementor-premium/vulnerability/wordpress-unlimited-elements-for-elementor-premium-plugin-1-4-72-arbitrary-file-upload-vulnerability for the exact fixed release and upgrade Unlimited Elements for Elementor (Premium) beyond 2.0.6 on every WordPress site that uses it. As a compensating control until patched, disable or deactivate the Unlimited Elements for Elementor (Premium) plugin (impact: any pages depending on its widgets will render broken), tighten WordPress role management to remove Contributor accounts from untrusted users and disable open self-registration (trade-off: blocks guest contributors), and add a WAF rule or hardening such as Patchstack/Wordfence virtual patching plus a deny-execute rule on wp-content/uploads (e.g., a directory-level configuration preventing PHP execution under uploads), accepting that the deny-execute rule can break legitimate plugins that intentionally place executable assets there.
