CVE-2026-4362 Details
Description
The ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `Live_Action::reset()` function in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.2 The function is hooked to the WordPress `init` action and triggers when both `post` and `action=elementor` GET parameters are present, with no authentication or nonce verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the Elementor content (`_elementor_data`) of any `elementskit_widget` custom post type by visiting a specially crafted URL. The widget's custom designs, text, and configurations are permanently replaced with a blank template.
A vulnerability exists in the ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions through 3.8.2. The issue arises from a missing capability check in the 'Live_Action::reset()' function, which is triggered by the WordPress 'init' action. This function lacks authentication and nonce verification, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the Elementor content of any 'elementskit_widget' custom post type. The exploitation involves sending a request with specific 'post' and 'action=elementor' GET parameters, resulting in the permanent replacement of the widget's custom designs and configurations with a blank template.
Users are advised to update the ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin to version 3.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
