Is Addon Elements for Elementor (formerly Elementor Addon Elements) Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 92/100Addon Elements for Elementor (formerly Elementor Addon Elements) has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly.
The plugin 'addon-elements-for-elementor-page-builder' v1.14.4 exhibits a mixed security posture. While the static analysis shows a positive sign with no identified dangerous functions, 100% SQL query preparedness, and a reasonable number of nonce and capability checks, there are significant concerns regarding output escaping, with only 58% properly escaped. This indicates a potential for cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, especially given the plugin's history. The vulnerability history is alarming, with a substantial number of known CVEs, predominantly in the medium severity category. The types of past vulnerabilities are common and represent recurring weaknesses in web application security, including XSS, missing authorization, and path traversal. The fact that all 28 known CVEs are currently unpatched is a critical red flag. While the absence of critical taint flows and unprotected entry points in the current static analysis are strengths, the historical data and the output escaping deficiency strongly suggest a high-risk plugin. The plugin relies heavily on Elementor's framework, which can sometimes inherit or introduce its own vulnerabilities, but the plugin's own history is the primary concern here.
Key Concerns
- Significant percentage of improperly escaped output
- Large number of historical CVEs (28 total)
- All historical CVEs are currently unpatched
- Common past vulnerability types (XSS, auth, path traversal)
- Bundled jQuery library
