Technical Analysis

The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress contains a CWE-400 Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability due to processing user-supplied input as a regular expression. This allows authenticated users with Author-level privileges or above to trigger a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) by crafting malicious post titles. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 4.10.35 and can cause server resource exhaustion leading to degraded availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.1 (Low), with network attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impact limited to availability.

Potential Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause a denial of service condition by slowing down server resources when processing malicious post titles. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The attack requires authenticated access at the Author level or higher, limiting the threat to users with elevated privileges. No known active exploitation has been reported.

Mitigation Recommendations
