What is CVE-2026-25007?

CVE-2026-25007 is a SQL injection flaw in ElementInvader Addons for Elementor. User input reaches a database query without proper parameterization, letting an attacker read, modify, or in some cases execute commands through stacked queries or out-of-band channels. Vendor description: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Element Invader ElementInvader Addons for Elementor elementinvader-addons-for-elementor allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects ElementInvader Addons for Elementor: from n/a through <= 1.4.2.

Why this CVE matters

SQL injection against a management product is rarely just a data leak. Once an attacker can read or write to the application database, the chain commonly ends with credential theft, persistence via scheduled tasks, or stacked queries that pivot into the operating system.

For deployments of ElementInvader Addons for Elementor that have been exposed to the public internet during the disclosure window, the operating assumption should be that scanning has already happened. Even where exploitation has not been publicly observed, scanning for the vulnerable fingerprint is cheap and routine. Patching closes the door; log review and credential rotation close out the rest of the response.

Am I affected?

You are affected if your installation matches any of these version ranges:

• ElementInvader Addons for Elementor: 0 <= 1.4.2

Check your installed version against the list above. If you cannot determine the version, treat the system as affected and follow the upgrade path below.

Open ElementInvader Addons for Elementor's About dialog or run the vendor-documented version-check command. Compare the result against the affected ranges in the advisory.

How to fix CVE-2026-25007

1. Read the vendor advisory in full: https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/elementinvader-addons-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-elementinvader-addons-for-elementor-plugin-1-4-2-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve
2. Upgrade ElementInvader Addons for Elementor to the patched build listed in the vendor advisory.
3. Back up the configuration (and database, where applicable) before upgrading.
4. Rotate any credentials, API keys, or session tokens that the vulnerable service touched. An unauthenticated RCE-class flaw means anything the process could see should be treated as exposed.
5. Apply the patch in a maintenance window. For HA pairs, upgrade the standby node first, fail over, then upgrade the former primary.
6. Restart the affected service so the patched binary loads, then verify the new version (see verification section).

# It should no longer flag CVE-2026-25007 on the patched target.

If you cannot patch immediately

Front the affected endpoint with a WAF rule that blocks SQL metacharacters in the vulnerable parameters. This is a stopgap, not a fix. Patch promptly.

How to verify the fix worked

• After applying the patch, verify the running version in the product's admin UI or via the vendor-documented CLI command.
• Confirm the patched build matches the version listed in the vendor advisory.
• Run an authenticated vulnerability scan with a current signature set and confirm the scanner no longer flags CVE-2026-25007.
• Review logs for the entire pre-patch window for indicators of compromise listed in the vendor or CISA advisory.
• Confirm any network-layer mitigations that were applied as a stopgap have been reverted (or left in place intentionally) once the patch is verified.

If your installation was internet-reachable during the disclosure window, treat log review as part of the remediation rather than an optional follow-up. Look for unexpected administrator accounts in ElementInvader Addons for Elementor, scheduled tasks or cron jobs you did not create, new files in web-accessible directories, and outbound connections to addresses not in your baseline. Suspicious requests to the vulnerable endpoint immediately followed by successful 200-class responses with unusually large bodies are a strong indicator of exploitation.

Frequently asked questions

Is CVE-2026-25007 being exploited in the wild?

Public exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA at the time of writing. Treat the patch as time-sensitive anyway; reports often lag actual abuse.

Will a WAF or IDS rule fully mitigate CVE-2026-25007?

No. Network-layer filters can reduce noise and slow opportunistic scanners, but they will not stop a determined attacker. The vendor patch is the only durable fix.

Do I need to assume compromise if my ElementInvader Addons for Elementor was internet-facing and unpatched?

For an unauthenticated RCE-class flaw exposed to the public internet during the known exploitation window, yes. Review logs, rotate credentials the process could access, and look for unexpected accounts, scheduled tasks, or outbound connections.
