CVE-2026-10081 Unlimited Elements CVE debrief

The Unlimited Elements For Elementor WordPress plugin before 2.0.11 does not sanitize or escape Google review content fetched from the Serp API before rendering it in the Google Reviews widget output. This allows unauthenticated attackers who submit a malicious review on the targeted business's Google listing to deliver Stored XSS to any visitor of any WP page displaying that Place ID's reviews. The vulnerability has a high defensive priority, and users of the plugin should take steps to protect their sites.
