CVE-2026-4106 Scanner

The HT Mega for Elementor plugin is widely utilized as an enhancement for the WordPress website building experience. Used by web developers and designers, it offers additional elements and features to extend the default capabilities of Elementor, a popular page builder plugin for WordPress. HT Mega enhances page customization through a multitude of widgets, templates, and modules, making it valuable for creating dynamic and engaging websites. It serves small business websites, blogs, and eCommerce sites that utilize Elementor to design and organize their page structures. Primarily, web professionals favor HT Mega for its easy integration and flexibility in design options, bolstering user engagement and site aesthetics. The plugin contributes significantly to optimizing WordPress as a comprehensive website management platform for various industries.

The Information Disclosure vulnerability in HT Mega exposes sensitive information through improperly handled AJAX actions. This vulnerability can inadvertently share confidential data due to unsecured security nonce extraction in the plugin's operations. Users with adequate access could exploit this flaw to glean sensitive data without needing additional permissions. This type of vulnerability generally emerges from insufficient input validation and exposure of critical operational endpoints. A compromised website could no longer ensure data privacy and integrity, affecting user trust and regulatory compliance. Prompt identification and mitigation are essential to preserve the integrity of information managed through WordPress-powered sites utilizing HT Mega.

The vulnerability centers on the plugin's AJAX actions, where sensitive information may be disclosed through security layers that inadequately protect nonce values. It uses specific POST requests to the endpoint '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' with parameters like 'action', 'security', and 'limit'. The parameter 'security' is vulnerable to exposure, potentially allowing unauthorized access through correctly manipulating these requests. Consequently, sensitive information, such as buyer details and location data, can be accessed when these parameter vulnerabilities are exploited. Matchers-looking for JSON attributes such as '"buyer":', '"fname":', and '"city":' in successful (200 status) HTTP responses confirm the presence of the vulnerability.

If exploited, this exposure potentially allows unauthorized users to access sensitive information stored or processed by the affected WordPress site. This could result in unauthorized data access and the disclosure of critical user data, eroding user privacy. Organizations suffering from an exploitation event may encounter significant reputational damage, data privacy violations, and financial liabilities resulting from compromised data. Persistent security issues pose a latent risk of exploitation by malicious actors, leading to potential data theft, compliance issues, and erosion of user trust.
