Server-Side Request Forgery in Royal Elementor Addons

Publication date: 2026-08-16

Last updated on: 2026-08-16

Assigner: Wordfence

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.

Executive Summary

The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress has a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in versions up to 1.7.1064. The Form Builder widget's 'webhook_url' setting allows attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to make arbitrary web requests from the server. The plugin saves the attacker-controlled URL and uses it to send requests via wp_remote_post() without restrictions on host, scheme, or IP address.

Detection Guidance

Check WordPress sites for the Royal Elementor Addons plugin version 1.7.1064 or lower. Look for unusual outbound HTTP requests from the server, especially to internal or unexpected destinations. Review logs for wpr_webhook_url_{widget_id} option updates and wpr_form_builder_webhook AJAX calls.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to access internal services, exfiltrate sensitive data, or interact with other systems as if they were the server. This could lead to data breaches, unauthorized actions, or further network compromise. The impact depends on the server's internal network and services.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or exfiltration, violating GDPR's data protection requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Organizations may face compliance violations, fines, or legal consequences if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Royal Elementor Addons plugin to the latest version. Disable the Form Builder widget if not needed. Restrict Contributor-level access to only trusted users. Monitor network traffic for unexpected outbound requests from the WordPress server.
