CVE-2026-14596: CWE-287 Improper Authentication in DynamicKit for Elementor
The DynamicKit for Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.0.3 does not validate the host of a user-supplied URL used as the base of the password-reset link it emails, allowing unauthenticated attackers to send a target user a legitimately-formatted reset email whose link points to an attacker-controlled host and carries a valid reset key, leading to account takeover when the victim clicks it.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14596 describes an improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) in the DynamicKit for Elementor WordPress plugin prior to version 1.0.3. The flaw arises because the plugin does not validate the host component of a user-supplied URL used as the base for password-reset links emailed to users. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a reset email with a legitimate reset key but a link pointing to an attacker-controlled domain. When the victim clicks the link, the attacker can gain control of the victim's account.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to perform account takeover by sending victims password reset emails with links that appear legitimate but redirect to attacker-controlled hosts. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user accounts in affected installations.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution with password reset emails and verify URLs before clicking. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor is recommended.
