Information Disclosure in Jeg Kit for Elementor (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2026-2916)
Summary
Vulnerability in Jeg Kit for Elementor (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2026-2916). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via JkitDashboardOption.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The Jeg Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.1 via the enqueue_scripts() method in class/dashboard/class-dashboard.php. The plugin injects a JkitDashboardOption JavaScript object containing full plugin inventory (names, versions, paths, active status), system environment details (WordPress version, PHP version, site URLs, server capabilities), and potentially third-party API credentials (Mailchimp API key via jkit_user_data) as an inline script on the post.php admin page. Because this data is output without any capability check beyond post editing access, any authenticated user with Contributor-level access or above can view this sensitive configuration data by inspecting the page source. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive site configuration data, installed plugin details, and potentially third-party API keys.
