Vulnerability Overview

The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1006. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application which 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.

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

Reaching this weakness in Royal Addons for Elementor <= 1.7.1006 takes an account at Admin 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 1.7.1007: builds <= 1.7.1006 are affected, anything from 1.7.1007 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.7.1007, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

An attacker needs Admin 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 1.7.1007 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
