Description
The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.7.1064 via the Form Builder widget's 'webhook_url' setting. The widget's render() method persists the attacker-controlled URL into the wpr_webhook_url_{widget_id} option on every render (including a Contributor previewing their own draft), and the wpr_form_builder_webhook AJAX handler — registered for both authenticated and unauthenticated callers — reads that option and dispatches the outbound request via the non-safe wp_remote_post(), with no host allowlist, no scheme restriction, and no private/loopback IP filter (the plugin's existing wpr_is_blocked_remote_host / wpr_is_private_or_local_ip helpers are not called on this path). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.

AI Analysis

Impact

The identified flaw is a Server‑Side Request Forgery (SSRF) that allows an authenticated user with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary URLs into the Form Builder widget's webhook settings. The plugin stores the URL in an option that is read by the AJAX handler, which then forwards a request using wp_remote_post() without any safety checks. As a result, the attacker can cause the web application to send requests to any network endpoint, including internal servers or external services, enabling data exfiltration or manipulation of remote resources. The vulnerability satisfies the criteria of CWE‑918.

Affected Systems

This issue affects the Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor plugin distributed by wproyal. All installations running version 1.7.1064 or earlier are impacted. The vulnerability was discovered in the Form Builder widget handling of the 'webhook_url' option. Users of any WordPress site that have installed or upgraded to these versions are therefore exposed until updated.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity, and while the EPSS score is currently unavailable, the lack of an allowlist or private‑IP filter means the attack can reach internal hosts. The vulnerability is accessible to contributors, who are commonly present on content‑heavy sites, and can be triggered simply by rendering a form. The plugin's AJAX endpoint is exposed to unauthenticated callers, so even if an attacker cannot authenticate, a form preview triggers the payload. Because the flaw can be abused for internal scanning or to exfiltrate data, the risk is significant, though the absence of active exploitation data prevents a definitive EPSS assessment. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but its high CVSS justifies immediate remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Royal Addons for Elementor plugin to the latest version (1.7.1065 or later), which includes a fixed Form Builder widget that validates URLs and restricts outbound requests.
  • If an upgrade is not possible at the moment, revoke or limit Contributor permissions on the WordPress site, or otherwise prevent non‑admin users from previewing or editing forms that use the widget.
  • Block outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests from the WordPress process to internal IP ranges that are not publicly routable, using firewall rules or host‑based filtering, to mitigate potential SSRF abuse.
