Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: Low
Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 5 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately verify if their WordPress sites use the ElementInvader Addons for Elementor plugin and identify the version in use. The primary mitigation is to upgrade the plugin to version 1.4.1 or later, where the authorization check has been implemented. If upgrading is not immediately possible, organizations should implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block or restrict access to the AJAX action 'elementinvader_addons_for_elementor_forms_send_form' from unauthenticated users or untrusted IP addresses. Monitoring outgoing email traffic for unusual patterns or spikes can help detect abuse attempts early. Additionally, organizations should review their email sending policies and SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to reduce the risk of email spoofing and improve email authentication. Regular security audits of WordPress plugins and strict access controls on administrative interfaces are recommended to prevent similar vulnerabilities. Finally, educating website administrators about the importance of timely plugin updates and monitoring security advisories is critical to maintaining a secure environment.

Description

The ElementInvader Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.4.1 allows unauthenticated user to send arbitrary e-mails to arbitrary addresses due to missing authorization on the elementinvader_addons_for_elementor_forms_send_form action.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to the confidentiality and reputation of their email communications. Attackers can exploit the missing authorization to send arbitrary emails from the affected WordPress site without authentication, potentially leading to spam campaigns, phishing attacks, or email spoofing that appear to originate from a trusted domain. This can result in reputational damage, loss of customer trust, and possible blacklisting of the organization's email servers by spam filters. While the vulnerability does not directly impact data integrity or availability, the indirect effects on business operations and customer relations can be significant. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on email communications, such as finance, e-commerce, and public services, may face increased risk. Additionally, regulatory compliance under GDPR may be impacted if the abuse leads to personal data exposure or phishing attacks targeting EU citizens. The lack of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future exploitation, especially as the vulnerability is publicly documented.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #4OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
