Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2022-47175 is a CSRF issue in the WordPress Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin through version 1.3.75. An attacker could trick a logged-in user into causing an unintended low-impact change. The published CVSS score is medium, and the provided sources do not show active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate website hygiene issue. It is not presented as actively exploited, but exposed WordPress plugins are common attack surface. Prioritize confirmation and update during normal vulnerability remediation windows unless business-critical sites are affected.
Technical view
The vulnerability is CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery in P Royal Royal Elementor Addons and Templates, package slug royal-elementor-addons, reported for versions <= 1.3.75. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3 with network attack vector, low complexity, no attacker privileges, required user interaction, and low integrity impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with Royal Elementor Addons and Templates installed at version 1.3.75 or earlier. The source bundle does not provide CPEs or detailed affected version metadata beyond the <= 1.3.75 statement.
Exploitation context
The provided data marks this as not in CISA KEV and gives no evidence of active exploitation. CSRF generally depends on user interaction and an authenticated victim context, but the bundle does not describe specific actions, roles, or attack paths.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse. The useful anchors are CVE-2022-47175, CWE-352, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, plugin slug royal-elementor-addons, and affected statement <= 1.3.75. No exploit detail, fixed version, or KEV listing is provided.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the royal-elementor-addons plugin.
- Check whether installed versions are 1.3.75 or earlier.
- Review vendor or Patchstack guidance for the fixed version.
- Update the plugin when a vendor-supported fixed release is available.
- Restrict administrative access and reinforce anti-CSRF controls where configurable.
Validation and detection
- Confirm plugin slug and version from WordPress administration or asset inventory.
- Check vulnerability scanners for CVE-2022-47175 coverage.
- Review change-management records for plugin updates after disclosure.
- Verify no unsupported plugin versions remain in production.
- Monitor vendor and Patchstack records for revised affected-version details.
