<![CDATA[🟠 High: Elementor CSRF Flaw Lets Attackers Take Over Sites After Admin Clicks Crafted Link]]>Details have emerged about a high-severity security flaw in the Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to create rogue administrator accounts and seize control of a site.

The issue is a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, which has not yet been assigned a CVE identifier and carries a CVSS score of 8.8 out of 10.0. It only affects certain versions of the plugin.

Successful exploitation requires an administrator to click a crafted link, after which the attacker can establish a malicious admin account and take over the affected website.

Affected users should confirm whether their installed version is impacted and update to a patched release as soon as one is available.

  • Watch for unexpected administrator accounts
  • Review recent admin activity and plugin versions
  • Apply vendor updates promptly once released

Until a fix is available, treat unsolicited links received by site administrators with heightened caution.
