CVE-2026-6229 - Royal Elementor Addons Plugin

CVE-2026-6229

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.
