VulnerabilityCVE-2026-4024cvecve-2026-4024cwe-862
Published: Sat May 02 2026 (05/02/2026, 08:27:04 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: wproyal
Product: Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor

Description

The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `wpr_update_form_action_meta` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1056. The handler is registered on both `wp_ajax` and `wp_ajax_nopriv` hooks, making it accessible to unauthenticated users. Although a nonce is verified, the nonce (`wpr-addons-js`) is publicly exposed in frontend JavaScript via `WprConfig.nonce` on any page that loads Royal Addons widgets, rendering the protection ineffective. The endpoint also lacks any capability or ownership checks and directly calls `update_post_meta()` with user-controlled input on a whitelisted set of form action meta keys. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify form action configuration metadata (email, submissions, Mailchimp, and webhook settings) on any post, potentially leading to webhook/email action tampering and data exfiltration via modified webhook URLs.

Technical Analysis

The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin suffers from a missing authorization (CWE-862) on the `wpr_update_form_action_meta` AJAX action, which is registered for both authenticated and unauthenticated users. The nonce intended to protect this endpoint is publicly exposed in frontend JavaScript, negating its security benefit. The endpoint lacks capability or ownership checks and directly updates post meta with user-controlled input on a whitelisted set of keys. This allows unauthenticated attackers to modify form action metadata such as email and webhook configurations, potentially enabling tampering and data exfiltration.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can modify form action metadata on any post, including email, submission, Mailchimp, and webhook settings. This can lead to tampering with webhook or email actions and potentially result in data exfiltration via altered webhook URLs. There is no impact on confidentiality, but integrity is compromised. Availability is not affected.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch has been published at this time. Until a patch is available, consider disabling the vulnerable plugin or restricting access to the affected AJAX action if possible.
