Unauthenticated SQL injection via rewritten search query
Published Oct 3, 2026 · Updated Oct 3, 2026
SQL injection in Unlimited Elements For Elementor 1.5.139 through 2.0.20 allows remote attackers to read non-public content via a search value. The plugin mishandles the ucs search value when rewriting an already prepared SQL statement, allowing that input to alter the resulting query. Exploitation requires a related widget option to be changed from its default; the reported consequence is disclosure of non-public content.
