CVE-2026-3132
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 · uneditedThe Master Addons for Elementor Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3 via the 'JLTMA_Widget_Admin::render_preview'. This is due to missing capability check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute code on the server.
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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Master Addons for Elementor Premium is installedLog into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the plugin directory (wp-content/plugins/master-addons-for-elementor) for the main plugin file containing the version numberAffected if The plugin is found installed on the WordPress site
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, view the plugin details to see the version number, or open the main plugin PHP file (typically plugin-name.php) and locate the Version header in the plugin comment blockAffected if The version is 2.1.3 or any version prior to 2.1.4 (e.g., 2.1.0, 2.0.5, 1.0.0)

Confirm the presence of authenticated user accountsIn WordPress admin, navigate to Users > All Users and review the list of registered users, noting their assigned rolesAffected if Any user account exists with Subscriber role or any authenticated-level access (roles include Subscriber, Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator)
-
Inspect the vulnerable method in plugin codeLocate the file containing JLTMA_Widget_Admin class (typically in includes/classes or similar directory within the plugin) and examine the render_preview method for missing capability checks (look for missing current_user_can or similar authorization calls before code execution)Affected if The render_preview method exists and lacks proper capability validation (no current_user_can check before executing preview functionality)
-
Verify the site allows user registrationIn WordPress admin, go to Settings > General and check if Membership option "Anyone can register" is enabled, and note the default New User Role settingAffected if User registration is enabled, allowing potential attackers to create low-privilege accounts
-
Confirm the REST API or AJAX endpoints are accessible to unauthenticated usersReview the plugin endpoints registered via wp_ajax or wp_ajax_nopriv hooks, or test accessing the vulnerable render_preview functionality with a freshly created Subscriber-level accountAffected if The vulnerable endpoint responds to requests from authenticated users with Subscriber role without additional authorization
A site is affected if Master Addons for Elementor Premium version 2.1.3 or earlier is installed and the site has any user accounts (including Subscriber role) that can access the vulnerable render_preview method lacking capability validation.
