CVE-2026-32473Network attack vector

Unauthenticated SSRF via PDF URL handling

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026

Server-side request forgery in DeKnows PDF Smart Viewer for Elementor through 1.0.4 allows remote attackers to trigger server requests. Public records do not identify the vulnerable endpoint or function, but the plugin's WordPress.org page states that its widget accepts a PDF URL, while Patchstack classifies the flaw as unauthenticated SSRF, indicating unsafe handling of attacker-influenced remote PDF locations. No authentication is required; exposure depends on the plugin being installed and reachable, and the published impact is limited to server-initiated network access with resulting confidentiality and integrity effects.
