Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-28131 affects the WordPress Elementor Addon Elements plugin through version 1.14.4. It can expose sensitive data that is embedded in sent information. The issue requires a logged-in user, based on the CVSS privileges-required rating. No public source in the bundle says it is actively exploited.
Executive priority
Treat as a medium-priority confidentiality issue. Prioritize internet-facing WordPress sites with this plugin and many authenticated users. There is no cited evidence of active exploitation, but affected versions should be tracked and remediated once vendor guidance is available.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-201, insertion of sensitive information into sent data, in WPVibes Elementor Addon Elements for Elementor Page Builder. CVSS 3.1 is 6.5: network reachable, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, high confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is mainly WordPress sites running addon-elements-for-elementor-page-builder at version 1.14.4 or earlier. Risk is higher where many low-privilege WordPress accounts exist or where sensitive content may be embedded in plugin-generated responses.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not include exploit details, proof-of-concept information, or confirmed active exploitation. The CVE is not marked as CISA KEV. Attack feasibility appears limited by the need for low-privilege authenticated access, but confidentiality impact is rated high.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Patchstack database entry. The bundle identifies affected versions through 1.14.4 and the weakness class, but does not provide vulnerable endpoints, exploit mechanics, fixed version, or vendor mitigation details.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for Elementor Addon Elements installations.
- Identify plugin versions and prioritize sites at 1.14.4 or earlier.
- Check WPVibes, WordPress.org, and Patchstack for fixed-version guidance.
- Update the plugin when a vendor-supported fixed release is available.
- If no fix is available, consider disabling the plugin on high-risk sites.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether addon-elements-for-elementor-page-builder is installed.
- Record the installed plugin version for each WordPress site.
- Flag versions 1.14.4 or earlier for remediation review.
- Review vendor or Patchstack advisory updates for patch availability.
- Review WordPress account exposure, especially low-privilege user access.
