MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated WordPress account with at least Contributor role on a site running Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) <= 2.0.19; exploitation is remote over the network with no user interaction. The practical limiter is the Contributor authentication requirement (PR:L) - an attacker must be able to register or obtain such an account - which restricts this to insider abuse, sites allowing open Contributor registration, or a chained-credential scenario rather than fully anonymous attack. The specific triggering plugin feature/parameter is not disclosed in the advisory description. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, authentication-gated SSRF that should be triaged as medium priority rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, 6.4) confirms network reach, low complexity, and no user interaction, but PR:L means a valid Contributor account is required - an important limiting factor that keeps this out of unauthenticated-scanner territory. The scope change (S:C) is consistent with SSRF pivoting from the WordPress host to internal/other systems, though impacts are only Low across confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact, matching a constrained SSRF (limited response reflection / blind or partial rather than full internal resource read). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no signal of active exploitation or automation. There is no SSVC data supplied. Net: real but bounded - the value is as an insider/low-privilege-to-internal-pivot primitive, not a mass-exploitation crisis. Key gaps to note explicitly: no fixed version is stated in the EUVD/Patchstack data, and the specific vulnerable feature/parameter is not disclosed in the description, so remediation currently depends on the Patchstack advisory rather than a confirmed patched release. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has (or registers/social-engineers) a Contributor account on a WordPress site running Unlimited Elements For Elementor <= 2.0.19 submits a crafted request through the vulnerable plugin functionality that causes the server to fetch an attacker-controlled or internal URL. This can be used to reach internal-only services, cloud metadata endpoints, or other hosts the WordPress server can see, achieving the low-level confidentiality/integrity impact and scope change reflected in the CVSS vector. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would require the attacker to develop the request themselves. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 17, 2026
Server-side request forgery in the WordPress plugin Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) through version 2.0.19 allows an authenticated attacker holding at least the Contributor role to make the affected site's web server issue outbound HTTP requests to attacker-chosen destinations, with no user interaction required. The practical barrier is the Contributor authentication requirement (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, 6.4), which limits realistic exposure to insider abuse, sites that permit open Contributor registration, or a chained credential-compromise scenario rather than anonymous mass exploitation. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV); this should be triaged as a medium-priority, authentication-gated SSRF and not as a top-tier emergency.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available references - the advisory records 2.0.19 and earlier as affected but does not name a fixed release - so the first step is to check the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-unlimited-elements-for-elementor-free-widgets-addons-templates-plugin-2-0-19-server-side-request-forgery-ssrf-vulnerability) and the plugin's WordPress.org changelog for the first version greater than 2.0.19 and upgrade as soon as one is published. Until a fixed build is confirmed, apply compensating controls in this order of practicality: audit and tighten role assignments so that only trusted accounts hold Contributor or higher on affected sites, and disable open Contributor registration or any self-service account provisioning, since the Contributor requirement is the primary control gating exploitation; if the site cannot accept that restriction, temporarily deactivate the Unlimited Elements plugin, accepting the loss of all Elementor widgets, add-ons and templates it supplies; and restrict outbound network egress from the web server with a deny-by-default policy that blocks internal RFC1918 ranges, loopback, link-local and cloud metadata endpoints such as 169.254.169.254, noting that a strict egress policy can break legitimate plugin features that fetch remote content (icons, fonts, templates) and should be staged with logging first. Complement these with WAF or reverse-proxy rules that reject URL parameters targeting internal hosts from authenticated low-privilege sessions, and monitor web server egress logs for requests to internal addresses or the metadata service, which is the most reliable detection signal for this class of issue. Because there is no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation, emergency out-of-band patching is not warranted; schedule the upgrade through normal change management.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a CWE-918 Server-Side Request Forgery in a WordPress plugin that supplies widget, add-on and template functionality for the Elementor page builder. The plugin exposes certain server-side routines (typically via AJAX handlers, REST endpoints, or admin-side actions reachable by low-privileged roles) that accept a URL and then have the WordPress server fetch it, without adequately validating the destination. Because the affected component performs the request on the server's behalf, an attacker does not need direct network access to internal services: they can pivot the request through the site's own host. The CVSS vector marks PR:L because the Contributor role is required to reach the vulnerable code path, and S:C because the impacted resource (the server and any services reachable from it) extends beyond the plugin's own security scope, while C:L and I:L reflect limited confidentiality and integrity effects from the responses obtained. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:unlimited_elements:unlimited_elements_for_elementor_(free_widgets,_addons,_templates):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* enumerates the plugin entry with all versions wildcarded, and the EUVD entry (EUVD-2026-81502) lists versions up to and including 2.0.19 as affected. The specific plugin feature, parameter, or endpoint that triggers the request is not disclosed in the advisory description, which complicates signature-based detection and means defenders should assume any plugin URL-fetching or remote-content functionality is in scope.
