Technical summary

The DynamicKit for Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.0.3 does not validate the host of a user-supplied URL used as the base of the password-reset link it emails. This allows unauthenticated attackers to send a target user a legitimately-formatted reset email whose link points to an attacker-controlled host and carries a valid reset key, leading to account takeover when the victim clicks it. The vulnerability affects WordPress administrators and users of the DynamicKit for Elementor plugin.

Defensive priority

Immediate attention recommended due to potential for account takeover.

Recommended defensive actions

• Update DynamicKit for Elementor WordPress plugin to version 1.0.3 or later
• Monitor for suspicious password reset emails

• Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance
• Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
