Cross-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 confidence

Cross-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.

MitigationImplement nonce verification for all forms, AJAX actions, and state-changing operations within the plugin to ensure requests originate from legitimate user 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate installed JetElements version
    Navigate 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' field
    Affected if The displayed version is lower than 2.6.13.1
  2. Identify state-changing AJAX actions
    Review 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 nonce
    Affected if AJAX action handlers exist that do not call wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer() before processing state-changing requests
  3. Inspect form submissions for nonce fields
    Examine 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
  4. Verify nonce validation in callback functions
    Search 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 wrappers
    Affected 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.
