CVE-2023-48762
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Crocoblock JetElements For Elementor.This issue affects JetElements For Elementor: from n/a through 2.6.13.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the JetElements For Elementor WordPress plugin allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions by forging requests. The lack of proper nonce validation on state-changing operations enables malicious actors to execute commands on behalf of victim users with active sessions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate installed JetElements versionNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins > JetElements For Elementor and read the version number displayed, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/jetelements/jet-elements.php for the 'Version' fieldAffected if The displayed version is lower than 2.6.13.1
-
Identify state-changing AJAX actionsReview plugin PHP files in /wp-content/plugins/jetelements/ for AJAX handlers (add_action('wp_ajax_...')) that perform database writes, user data changes, or settings modifications without checking a nonceAffected if AJAX action handlers exist that do not call wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer() before processing state-changing requests
-
Inspect form submissions for nonce fieldsExamine plugin files containing form handling (POST/GET requests) that modify settings, user preferences, or content, and verify whether each form includes a nonce field via wp_nonce_field() or wp_nonce_url()Affected if Forms processing user input lack nonce verification and will execute requests from any origin
-
Verify nonce validation in callback functionsSearch plugin PHP files for callback functions handling state changes and confirm they validate nonces at the function entry point using check_admin_referer(), wp_verify_nonce(), or defined verification wrappersAffected if State-changing callback functions skip nonce validation entirely or perform it inconsistently
You are affected if the installed JetElements For Elementor version is below 2.6.13.1 and the plugin processes state-changing operations (AJAX actions or form submissions) without verifying nonces, allowing authenticated users to be exploited via CSRF attacks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.6.13.1
Implement nonce verification for all forms, AJAX actions, and state-changing operations within the plugin to ensure requests originate from legitimate user sessions.
2.6.13.1 or later
- 1. Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- 2. Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- 3. Find JetElements For Elementor in the plugin list
- 4. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to upgrade to version 2.6.13.1 or later
- 5. Alternatively, download the latest version from the official WordPress plugin repository or from Crocoblock
- 6. Verify the plugin version after update to confirm the fix is applied
