Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Nov 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 10 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Upgrade the Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin to version 4.3.6 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation guidance is provided in the input data.

Description

The Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin versions before 4.3.6 contain a vulnerability where an element identifier is not validated or escaped before being rendered into a client-side attribute evaluated as JavaScript. This flaw allows users with the Contributor role to inject scripts that execute in the browsers of anyone viewing the affected content, including administrators reviewing submissions.

Impact

Users with Contributor privileges can inject and store malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other users viewing the affected content, including administrators. This could lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of the affected users, such as session hijacking or privilege escalation during content review.

Summary

The Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin prior to version 4.3.6 fails to properly validate or escape element identifiers before rendering them into client-side framework attributes that are evaluated as JavaScript. This improper handling enables users with the Contributor role to store malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of viewers, including administrators, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
