CVE-2026-6229: Royal Addons for Elementor <= 1.7.1057 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Server-Side Request Forgery via CSV URL Parameter

The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.7.1057. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URLs in the render_csv_data() function, which can be bypassed by including 'docs.google.com/spreadsheets' in a query parameter, and the subsequent use of these URLs in fopen() calls without blocking internal or private network addresses. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make requests to arbitrary URLs and retrieve sensitive information from internal services.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

A logged-in WordPress user with Contributor access or higher may cause an affected site to contact attacker-selected systems. This could expose information from internal services that are normally unreachable from the internet. Sites with untrusted or compromised contributor accounts face the greatest risk.

Executive priority

Prioritize assessment within the normal high-severity remediation window, accelerating for sites with many contributors, weak account controls, or access to sensitive internal services. Immediate containment is appropriate if a confirmed fixed release cannot be identified.

Technical view

Royal Addons for Elementor through 1.7.1057 contains CWE-918 SSRF in render_csv_data(). URL validation can reportedly be bypassed by placing the expected Google Sheets domain text in a query parameter. The resulting URL reaches fopen() without blocking private or internal destinations, potentially returning sensitive service data.

Likely exposure

Exposure requires Royal Addons for Elementor version 1.7.1057 or earlier and access to the affected CSV data-table behavior. The description requires an authenticated Contributor-level user or higher, so compromised, shared, or untrusted publishing accounts materially increase risk.

Exploitation context

The supplied bundle does not establish active exploitation, and the CVE is not identified as CISA KEV. Exploitation is described as remotely reachable but authenticated. The supplied CVSS vector says PR:N, conflicting with the stated Contributor-level requirement; defenders should rely on the authenticated scenario until authoritative clarification.

Researcher notes

The affected function, bypass condition, and unsafe fopen() behavior are specifically described, but the bundle contains inconsistent privilege data: the narrative requires Contributor access while CVSS records PR:N. It also provides a changeset without explicitly identifying a fixed release. Validate version boundaries and privilege requirements against current vendor guidance before closing findings.

Mitigation direction

  • Check vendor guidance for a confirmed fixed release; the bundle does not name one.
  • Disable the affected CSV data-table capability or plugin until remediation is confirmed.
  • Remove unnecessary Contributor-or-higher accounts and reset credentials for suspicious accounts.
  • Block server egress to private, link-local, and cloud metadata destinations where operationally feasible.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory WordPress sites running Royal Addons for Elementor version 1.7.1057 or earlier.
  • Determine whether affected data-table CSV functionality is enabled or used.
  • Review Contributor-or-higher accounts for unexpected creation, access, or privilege changes.
  • Inspect application and network logs for unusual CSV URLs or requests toward internal destinations.
  • Confirm outbound controls prevent WordPress from reaching sensitive internal and metadata services.
