CVE-2026-2413 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Elementor Ally – Web Accessibility & Usability plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 4.0.3. The vulnerability stems from the get_global_remediations() method, where a user-supplied URL parameter is concatenated directly into an SQL JOIN clause without proper sanitization for SQL context. The plugin applies esc_url_raw() to the input, which ensures URL safety but does not neutralize SQL metacharacters such as single quotes or parentheses. This oversight allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious SQL code via the URL path, enabling time-based blind SQL injection attacks to extract sensitive data from the backend database. Exploitation requires the Remediation module to be active, which in turn requires the plugin to be connected to an Elementor account, limiting the attack surface somewhat. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (high severity), reflecting its network exploitable nature without authentication or user interaction, and its potential to compromise confidentiality. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the vulnerability poses a significant risk to WordPress sites using this plugin, especially those with the Remediation module enabled. The lack of proper parameterized queries or prepared statements in the affected code is the root cause of this issue.

The primary impact of CVE-2026-2413 is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information from the WordPress site's database. Attackers can leverage time-based blind SQL injection to extract data such as user credentials, configuration details, or other sensitive content stored in the database. Since the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly, the main concern is confidentiality breach. However, extracted data could facilitate further attacks, including privilege escalation or site takeover. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network without authentication or user interaction, increasing the risk of widespread exploitation. Organizations running websites with the Elementor Ally plugin and the Remediation module active are at risk of data leakage, potentially leading to reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and loss of customer trust. The requirement for the plugin to be connected to an Elementor account somewhat limits exposure but does not eliminate risk, especially for sites actively using the plugin's accessibility features.

To mitigate CVE-2026-2413, organizations should immediately update the Elementor Ally – Web Accessibility & Usability plugin to a version where this vulnerability is patched once available. In the absence of a patch, temporarily disabling the Remediation module or disconnecting the plugin from the Elementor account can reduce the attack surface. Web application firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns, particularly those targeting URL parameters. Site administrators should audit their logs for suspicious URL requests containing SQL metacharacters and monitor for unusual database query patterns indicative of time-based blind SQL injection attempts. Employing database-level restrictions and least privilege principles can limit the damage if exploitation occurs. Developers maintaining custom code integrating with this plugin should ensure all user inputs are properly parameterized and sanitized for SQL contexts, avoiding direct concatenation into queries. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on SQL injection vectors are recommended to detect similar issues proactively.
