CVE-2026-4885

The Piotnet Addons for Elementor Pro plugin for WordPress allows attackers to upload files without proper type checks. Because the plugin only blocks a few extensions, dangerous files such as .phar or .phtml can be uploaded, potentially letting an attacker run code on the server. This flaw exists in all versions up to 7.1.70.
