Description
The Royal Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.7.1070 does not scope a contact form's email delivery configuration to the form's own document or owner, instead storing it in a site-global namespace keyed only on a non-secret, author-chosen identifier that is exposed in public page source, allowing users with the Author role or above to overwrite another user's form configuration and have that form's submissions delivered to an attacker-controlled address.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin stored a form's email delivery configuration in a global namespace keyed only on an author‑chosen identifier that is exposed to the public. Because the configuration is not scoped to the individual form or its owner, an attacker with the Author role or higher can provide a different value for that identifier on another form, overwriting the existing recipient address. Once overwritten, all submissions to that form will be delivered to the attacker‑controlled email address, enabling phishing and data exfiltration without the owner’s knowledge.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the Royal Addons for Elementor plugin installed in any version before 1.7.1070. The specific vendor is listed as Unknown:Royal Addons for Elementor. Owners of sites using this plugin should verify their plugin version and upgrade if necessary.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability requires only an Author role or higher, which is commonly granted to content authors. An attacker who can write a form widget will be able to replace another user’s form configuration. The EPSS score is not available, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no known public exploits yet. However, the potential for data interception is high, and the lack of an access control guard makes this a serious privilege escalation flaw that can be exploited with minimal effort by an insider or compromised account.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Royal Addons for Elementor to version 1.7.1070 or later where the global configuration bug is fixed.
  • If an upgrade is delayed, limit the Author role to the least privileges needed, remove author access to form editing, and audit existing form identifiers to detect any unexpected changes.
  • Verify and reset the email recipient addresses in all forms, ensuring they match the intended owners, and remove any leftover global configuration entries that could be abused.
