Sensitive Information Exposure in Royal Addons for Elementor

Publication date: 2026-09-12

Last updated on: 2026-09-12

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1066 via the 'wpr_keyword' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract arbitrary postmeta values from all published posts via character-by-character substring matching across the entire wp_postmeta table. The required nonce is emitted publicly via wp_localize_script on any frontend page that loads a Royal Elementor widget, meaning no authenticated session or prior action is needed to obtain it.

Executive Summary

This WordPress plugin vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive metadata from all published posts by exploiting a parameter called 'wpr_keyword'. The attack works by matching substrings across the wp_postmeta table to extract arbitrary values without needing any user authentication or prior access.

Detection Guidance

Check for exposed postmeta values by querying the wp_postmeta table for the 'wpr_keyword' parameter. Use WordPress database queries or tools like WP-CLI to inspect posts for unusual meta data exposure.

Impact Analysis

Attackers could steal sensitive data stored in WordPress post metadata, such as user information, settings, or other confidential details from all published posts. Since no authentication is required, any visitor to the site could potentially access this data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and confidentiality. Organizations may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Royal Addons for Elementor plugin to the latest version beyond 1.7.1066. If an update is unavailable, consider disabling the plugin temporarily until a patch is released.
