CVE-2026-1641: CWE-918 Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in wowelements Wow Elements Addons for Elementor
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-1641 describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the Wow Elements Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin. The flaw exists in versions up to 1.11.2 due to insufficient validation of user-controlled input in the 'Changelog File' setting, which is passed directly to the wp_remote_get function. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or higher to induce the server to make arbitrary HTTP requests, potentially accessing or modifying internal resources.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to make the server send arbitrary HTTP requests. This can lead to unauthorized querying or modification of internal services. The CVSS score is 6.5 (medium severity), indicating a moderate impact primarily on integrity and availability, with no direct confidentiality impact reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently documented. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting the use of the 'Changelog File' setting to prevent exploitation.
