CVE-2026-1641
No known patch is available for this vulnerability.
The affected plugin has not been updated on WordPress.org since before this CVE was disclosed; the latest installable version is still vulnerable. If you have the affected software installed, you should uninstall or replace it rather than wait for an update.
Description
The Wow Elements Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.11.2. This is due to the plugin passing user-controlled input from the 'Changelog File' setting directly to the wp_remote_get function without adequate validation or sanitization of the URL. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
