2026-08-20 2026Critical Elementor Pro bug exposes WordPress sites to RCE attacksRCEWriteup of CVE-2026-32475, a critical RCE vulnerability in Elementor Pro versions prior to 4.2.2. The flaw arises from the File Upload module's differing handling of empty filename uploads between validation and processing loops, allowing attackers to craft multipart uploads containing malicious PHP payloads. Exploitation requires a published Elementor form with a File Upload field and the multiple file upload option enabled. Attackers can determine the uploaded payload's filename via timing brute-force or autoresponder emails and trigger its execution by requesting its URL, granting arbitrary code execution. Patchstack, who identified the vulnerability, recommends updating Elementor Pro and thoroughly checking the `wp-content/uploads/elementor/forms/` directory for rogue files.
