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: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
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 18 Dec 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 26 Oct 2026.

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

Until an official fix is released, restrict subscriber-level user capabilities if possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to the import_elementor_template AJAX action. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users and consider disabling or limiting the use of the vulnerable plugin if feasible.

Description

The Prime Slider – Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.9 via the import_elementor_template AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber 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.

Impact

An attacker with at least subscriber-level access can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to make the server perform arbitrary HTTP requests. This may enable the attacker to access or modify data from internal services that are not directly reachable from outside the network. The impact is limited to information disclosure (confidentiality impact is low), with no direct integrity or availability impact reported. No known active exploitation has been documented.

Summary

The Prime Slider – Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress contains an SSRF vulnerability (CWE-918) in versions up to and including 4.0.9. The issue arises through the import_elementor_template AJAX action, which allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level privileges or higher to induce the server to make HTTP requests to arbitrary locations. This can be leveraged to interact with internal services that are otherwise inaccessible externally. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2025-14277 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (medium severity).
