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.
No official fix yet. If none appears within 45 days of first tracking, this entry is removed automatically.
