CVE-2026-85017 Details
Description
The Unlimited Elements For Elementor WordPress plugin before 2.0.20 does not perform a capability check on an AJAX action and deserializes attacker-controlled stored data through it, which makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to inject arbitrary PHP objects. A partial fix in the 2.0.18 to 2.0.19 releases raised the privilege required to reach the vulnerable action to editor-level, and the issue was fully resolved in 2.0.20.
A PHP object injection vulnerability has been identified in the Unlimited Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 2.0.20. The vulnerability arises because the plugin fails to perform a capability check on an AJAX action, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to inject arbitrary PHP objects by exploiting the deserialization of attacker-controlled stored data. Although a partial fix was implemented in versions 2.0.18 to 2.0.19, which raised the required privilege to editor-level, the issue was not fully resolved until version 2.0.20.
Users are advised to update the Unlimited Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin to version 2.0.20 or later.
