At a glance

CVE-2026-17123 is a high-severity Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the Royal Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.7.1064. It carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Contributor level or above. The issue is fixed in version 1.7.1065; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed August 2026, reported by TarPeg007.

Vulnerability Overview

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.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.

CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Royal Addons for Elementor <= 1.7.1064 carries this weakness at webhook_url, and reaching it takes an account at Contributor level or above. Server-side request forgery means the application fetches a URL supplied by the caller, turning the server into a proxy for requests the attacker could not make directly.

The request originates from inside the hosting network, which is how these flaws reach cloud metadata endpoints, internal admin panels and services that trust local traffic. For Royal Addons for Elementor the fix is 1.7.1065: builds <= 1.7.1064 are affected, anything from 1.7.1065 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.7.1065, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

An attacker needs Contributor access first, so the firewall sees the attempt as traffic from a logged-in account: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Royal Addons for Elementor 1.7.1065 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
