CVE-2026-92924 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-10-02

Unlimited Elements for Elementor is a WordPress plugin that adds custom widgets to the Elementor page builder. Before version 2.0.21, the plugin fails to verify user permissions when rendering widget output, allowing low-privileged users (subscribers before version 2.0.18, contributors in 2.0.18–2.0.20) to execute arbitrary WordPress shortcodes on the website. This could enable attackers to inject malicious content, deface the site, or compromise functionality.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the widget output rendering function. The plugin does not validate that the requesting user has permission to render widget output via the get_addon_output_data action. Subscribers can exploit this before version 2.0.18; version 2.0.18 hardened it to require Contributor role or above. An unauthenticated attacker cannot exploit this, but any logged-in user with subscriber or higher privileges can inject arbitrary shortcodes, leading to code execution within the WordPress context.
