CVE-2026-28192Network attack vector

Arbitrary file upload via unrestricted file types

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026

Arbitrary file upload in Piotnet Addons For Elementor Pro 7.1.67 and earlier allows remote attackers to write files via web forms. Patchstack and NVD identify unrestricted upload of dangerous file types, but the public record does not disclose the specific upload handler or validation routine that accepts attacker-supplied files. No authentication is required; if the affected site exposes a reachable upload form and the server later executes or serves the uploaded content, attackers can gain code-execution or defacement leverage.
