Cross-Site Request Forgery in Elementor Hello Elementor can trigger unwanted actions

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Elementor Hello Elementor.This issue affects Hello Elementor: from n/a through 3.0.0.

• Elementor Hello Elementor, package hello-elementor, is an affected WordPress theme from n/a through and including 3.0.0.
• The status changes to unaffected at 3.0.1.
• The normalized record sets default_status to unaffected, while the explicit version range above is marked affected. No separate parallel branch is established by the available evidence.

This is a CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in the Hello Elementor WordPress theme. A remote attacker can create a malicious link or crafted page that causes a higher-privileged user to submit an unwanted request while authenticated. The attack does not require attacker authentication, but it does require user interaction, such as clicking a malicious link, visiting a crafted page, or submitting a form. The available evidence does not identify the affected endpoint, specific action, or implementation detail, so further request or validation behavior should not be inferred.

• Reachability: Exploitation can occur over the network.
• Authentication: The attacker does not need authenticated privileges on the target site.
• User interaction: A higher-privileged user must perform an action in the current authenticated session.
• Complexity: The supplied assessment describes the attack complexity as low.
• Status: The supplied record does not identify a public exploit. Its accompanying enrichment records exploitation as none and automatable as no; Patchstack describes exploitation as unlikely. This is a source assessment and does not prove that exploitation is impossible.

• Successful exploitation could cause a higher-privileged user to perform an unwanted action under the current authenticated session.
• The technical effect remains within the WordPress site context and primarily affects the integrity of state or data that the user is authorized to change.
• The record does not indicate an effect on data confidentiality or service availability.
• The specific action, affected object, and practical scope within the site are not disclosed, so the resulting impact depends on the function exposed to the forged request.

• A higher-privileged user may perform an unwanted website action after interacting with an attacker-controlled link, page, or form.
• The operational consequence depends on the specific action that the CSRF request can trigger; the source does not identify that action.
• The primary risk is unauthorized modification of website state or content within the affected user's permissions.
• The record does not describe data disclosure, service disruption, a specific campaign, or a named victim.

1. Update Elementor Hello Elementor to 3.0.1 or a higher version, as stated in the supplied solution.
2. After updating, verify that the active hello-elementor package has been upgraded across all affected sites and that no deployment remains within the affected range.
3. If updating is not immediately possible, contact the hosting provider or web developer for assistance, following the guidance provided by Patchstack.
4. The available evidence does not document a specific alternative mitigation, so generic monitoring or filtering should not be treated as equivalent to the update.

1. Inventory WordPress sites using the Elementor Hello Elementor theme, including production, staging, and provider-managed deployments.
2. Check for the active package named hello-elementor and compare the deployed version with the affected range in affected_summary.
3. Review administrative and web logs for unusual state-changing activity performed in higher-privileged user sessions, especially where users report visiting an unfamiliar link or page.
4. Investigate unexpected changes and determine whether they followed a request originating from an external site. Treat this as precautionary monitoring, not as a confirmed indicator for this vulnerability.
5. Do not treat the absence of suspicious log activity as proof of safety; version verification remains the primary check.
