CVE-2026-1982: CWE-472 External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter
The Persian Elementor plugin for WordPress up to version 2.8.1 contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate payment amounts submitted to the ZarinPal payment gateway. This occurs because the plugin does not perform server-side validation of the 'amount' parameter, trusting user-supplied values instead. This can lead to attackers submitting arbitrary payment amounts, potentially bypassing intended pricing controls.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-1982 is a vulnerability in the Persian Elementor WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.8.1) where the plugin trusts a user-supplied 'amount' parameter for payments processed via the ZarinPal gateway without server-side validation. This external control of an assumed-immutable web parameter (CWE-472) enables unauthenticated attackers to submit arbitrary payment amounts, resulting in price manipulation.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to alter the payment amount sent to the ZarinPal gateway, potentially enabling them to pay less than the intended price. There is no confidentiality or availability impact reported, but the integrity of payment transactions is compromised.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, consider disabling the affected payment functionality or implementing server-side validation of payment amounts as a temporary mitigation.
