Elementor Pro WordPress Plugin Vulnerability Exploited to Hack Sites

Attackers are actively exploiting critical file-upload flaw CVE-2026-32475 in Elementor Pro, hacking WordPress sites; Defiant has blocked over 190,000 exploit attempts since patching.

Defiant warns that attackers are exploiting CVE-2026-32475 (CVSS 9.8), an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload flaw in the Elementor Pro WordPress plugin's form submission handling, which affects all versions up to 4.2.1 and was patched in version 4.2.2 on August 19. Exploitation began immediately after the fix shipped, with Defiant blocking over 190,000 exploit attempts to date; roughly two-thirds of Elementor's 10 million installations still ran a vulnerable version as of September 4. Successful exploitation writes attacker-controlled PHP files to /wp-content/uploads/elementor/forms/ and can lead to full site compromise; administrators should check that directory for PHP files and review requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

Elementor Pro Flaw Could Let Unauthenticated Attackers Upload PHP and Execute Code

Patchstack disclosed CVE-2026-32475 (CVSS 9.0), an unauthenticated file-upload flaw in Elementor Pro enabling PHP upload and RCE; fixed in version 4.2.2.

Patchstack researcher Tin Pham reported an unrestricted file upload flaw in Elementor Pro's Forms module (CVE-2026-32475, CVSS 9.0), affecting all versions up to and including 4.2.1. Submitting two file parts for one field bypasses the extension blocklist and writes attacker-controlled PHP into a public uploads directory, yielding unauthenticated remote code execution when a published Elementor page uses a Form widget with a File Upload field. A patched version 4.2.2 shipped August 19, 2026, a day after WordPress 7.0.4 fixed CVE-2026-65640 (CVSS 8.8), an RCE via Postscript file upload when Imagick and Ghostscript are in use.

Critical Unauthenticated File Upload to RCE in Elementor Pro Plugin

Elementor Pro WordPress plugin has an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload flaw in its Forms module allowing remote code execution.

Patchstack disclosed a critical unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Elementor Pro WordPress plugin that can lead to remote code execution. The flaw is in the Forms module's File Upload field, where the extension check and the file-move step run in two separate loops with inconsistent handling of empty file entries. The writeup describes exploitation via crafted upload submissions; no CVE id or evidence of in-the-wild exploitation is given in the post.

CVE-2026-324759.02%
Unauthenticated PHP File Upload (RCE) in Elementor Pro WordPress Plugin
Elementor Pro, the paid add-on to the widely used Elementor page builder for WordPress, is affected by an unrestricted upload of files with dangerous types (CWE-434) that can be triggered by unauthenticated attackers. An attacker sends a crafted upload request to the plugin's vulnerable endpoint and can upload a dangerous file — notably a PHP file — which the web server then executes, yielding remote code execution on the hosting account. The critical 9.0 CVSS score with scope change (S:C) and high impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability reflects that code execution lets an attacker take over the site, plant backdoors, modify content and potentially affect the underlying host. All Elementor Pro releases up to and including 4.2.1 are affected, meaning every site that has not yet updated to a fixed version is in scope. The flaw is not yet listed in CISA KEV and no public proof-of-concept is cataloged, and EPSS assigns a 2.4% 30-day exploitation probability (83rd percentile), but news reports already document hundreds of thousands of exploit attempts against Elementor Pro and Super Forms RCE flaws, so it should be treated as exploited in the wild.

CVE-2026-656408.82%
Author-Level RCE in WordPress Core via Malicious Postscript File Upload
WordPress core is vulnerable to remote code execution when a user with Author-level privileges or higher (holding the upload_files capability) uploads a malicious Postscript file that the server processes using the Imagick image library with Ghostscript. Exploitation requires two server prerequisites: Imagick must be in use and Ghostscript must be installed, and the attacker needs an account with upload rights, so unauthenticated attacks are not possible. A successful attacker gains code execution on the web server with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 8.8). All versions of WordPress are affected; a fix shipped in WordPress 7.0.4 and was backported as a courtesy to all branches back to 4.7. No public proof-of-concept is known, the flaw is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS assigns a 1.9% probability of exploitation within 30 days, so no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is documented.
