Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-39546 is a CSRF issue in the WordPress ElementsReady Addons for Elementor plugin up to version 6.6.2. A victim must be tricked into interacting with a malicious page while authenticated. The published impact is limited integrity change, not data theft or outage.
Executive priority
Treat as a routine but timely WordPress plugin remediation. The known impact is moderate and interaction-dependent, but affected public sites should still be inventoried and updated because CSRF can alter site state through trusted users.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery in package element-ready-lite. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3 with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, required user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running quomodosoft ElementsReady Addons for Elementor, package element-ready-lite, through version 6.6.2. Sites without this plugin are not indicated as affected by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not cite CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation requires user interaction, consistent with CSRF risk where an authenticated user may be induced to trigger an unintended action.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to CVE metadata and the Patchstack VDB reference. The bundle does not identify the vulnerable endpoint, affected action, proof of exploitation, or fixed version. Do not assume broader Elementor or WordPress core exposure from these sources.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the element-ready-lite plugin and installed version.
- Check vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release or official mitigation.
- Upgrade if vendor guidance identifies a safe fixed version.
- Disable or remove the plugin where it is not operationally required.
- Review administrator security controls and reduce unnecessary privileged browsing sessions.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether each WordPress site has ElementsReady Addons for Elementor installed.
- Record the exact plugin version and flag versions through 6.6.2.
- Check vendor and Patchstack advisories for remediation status before closing the finding.
- Review recent administrative changes for unexpected plugin-related configuration updates.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
