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 induce a victim to open a maliciously crafted request/link (UI:R in the CVSS vector), so it is not self-propagating and cannot be triggered without human interaction. No authentication is required by the attacker to forge the payload (PR:N), and the target must be running Unlimited Elements For Elementor version 2.0.12 or earlier on a WordPress site reachable by the victim. The primary limiting factors are the mandatory click/interaction, the fact that impact is scoped to the victim's own browser session rather than direct server compromise, and that maximum leverage is achieved when the lured victim is a privileged/administrative user. |
| Impact | Signals are moderate and internally consistent rather than alarming. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L = 7.1 High) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation, but the mandatory user interaction (UI:R) and only Low impact on each dimension temper real-world severity - this is typical reflected-XSS scoring where the scope change (S:C) is what pushes it into High territory. No EPSS score was supplied in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified here. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV and no POC or SSVC decision data was provided, so there is no evidence of active or automatable exploitation. Net assessment: a legitimate patch-worthy issue for exposed WordPress sites, but a lower operational priority than a stored XSS or an unauthenticated RCE, because it depends on social-engineering a victim into clicking a crafted link. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a URL targeting a vulnerable plugin endpoint on a victim WordPress site, embedding a malicious JavaScript payload in a reflected request parameter, and delivers it via phishing email or a malicious link. When an authenticated administrator or any logged-in user clicks the link, the script executes in their browser under the site's origin, enabling session/cookie theft, admin-action forgery, or redirection. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and low attack complexity (AC:L) means a working payload is straightforward once the injectable parameter is known. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 13, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) WordPress plugin affects all versions up to and including 2.0.12, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser session when the victim clicks a crafted link. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 reflects a scope change (S:C) where injected script escapes into the victim's browser context, yielding limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; the issue was reported by Patchstack.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin to a release newer than 2.0.12; the input data does not specify an exact fixed version, so treat this as 'Patch available per vendor advisory' and confirm the fixed build against the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-unlimited-elements-for-elementor-free-widgets-addons-templates-plugin-2-0-12-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability) and the WordPress.org plugin changelog before deploying. Until a confirmed patched version is applied, deploy a Web Application Firewall (a Patchstack or comparable WordPress WAF virtual patch) to filter XSS payloads in request parameters handled by the plugin, and add a restrictive Content-Security-Policy header to limit inline-script execution - noting CSP can break legitimate inline scripts used by page-builder themes and requires testing. As a last resort, deactivate the plugin entirely, accepting the trade-off that Elementor pages built with its widgets will lose functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), the classic root cause of cross-site scripting: user-supplied input is reflected back into an HTML response without adequate output encoding or contextual sanitization. The affected component is the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin (CPE cpe:2.3:a:unlimited_elements:unlimited_elements_for_elementor_(free_widgets,_addons,_templates):*), a page-builder add-on for the Elementor ecosystem on WordPress that supplies widgets, addons, and templates. Because this is a *reflected* variant, the malicious payload is not stored server-side but is echoed from a request parameter into the rendered page, so exploitation requires the victim to be lured into issuing the crafted request (UI:R).

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 <= 2.0.12.
Executive ViewAI
Unlimited Elements For Elementor WordPress plugin versions through 2.0.12 contain a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2026-57718, CVSS 7.1) that allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript into visitor sessions when users click attacker-crafted links. This affects organizations deploying this plugin across their WordPress infrastructure, exposing user sessions and sensitive data to compromise. With no vendor patch currently available, immediate mitigation and version assessment are required.
Implement strict content security policy (CSP) headers to restrict inline script execution; disable or remove the plugin from production if operationally feasible; restrict administrative access to plugin management; monitor server and application logs for patterns indicating script injection attempts; conduct user training on risks of external links and suspicious behavior; consider additional web application firewall rules to detect and block reflected XSS patterns.
