CVE-2026-75586
CVE-2026-75586 — Unlimited Elements For Elementor <= 2.0.17 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'formData[id]' Parameter
The Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'formData[id]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.17 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The front-end AJAX handler is registered on the public 'wp' action with no nonce, capability, or referer check, and the raw attacker-controlled id value is interpolated verbatim into an exception message that is echoed back without escaping; when the response is served as text/html rather than application/json, the browser parses the injected markup.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade Unlimited Elements For Elementor to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

What this weakness leads to
MITRE's own consequences and mitigations for the weakness class — the authority's wording, not guidance derived from the CVSS vector.
CWE-79 · Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
- Bypass Protection Mechanism
- Read Application Data
- Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
Mitigation: Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. Examples of libraries and frameworks that make it easier to generate properly encoded output include Microsoft's Anti-XSS library, the OWASP ESAPI Encoding module, and Apache Wicket.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-75586 is Unlimited Elements For Elementor <= 2.0.17 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'formData[id]' Parameter, a medium vulnerability affecting Unlimited Elements For Elementor from unitecms. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-75586. Public exploit evidence is: A public PoC is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-75586. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 6.1 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
