CVE-2026-32475: Critical RCE in Elementor Pro due to File Upload Bypass
Unauthenticated RCE in Elementor Pro allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via manipulated file uploads.
●Builder Action:Update Elementor Pro to 4.2.2 or later immediately to fix the file upload validation bypass. If you manage sites with Elementor Pro forms that accept uploads, audit your uploads directory for malicious scripts and consider disabling file uploads if not essential. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated RCE, so patching is critical.
