CVE-2026-62062 is a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Elementor Website Builder versions 4.3.0 and 4.3.1. The flaw is in the Editor Events module’s REST API nonce-validation logic. It examines the raw PHP REQUEST_URI, including its query string, and bypasses nonce validation when the string "elementor/v1/events/" occurs anywhere in that value rather than validating the requested REST route. An attacker can place that string in a query parameter of a crafted link, causing an unrelated state-changing WordPress REST API request to bypass nonce validation. The reported exploit abuses the WordPress user-management API to create a new administrator account.

This seven-file repository is an operational Python proof of concept and loopback Docker lab for CVE-2026-62062, a claimed Elementor Website Builder REST nonce-bypass CSRF issue. The principal file, CVE-2026-62062-Abraxas-Labs.py, logs into WordPress with supplied administrator credentials, submits a baseline REST user-creation request expected to fail nonce validation, then repeats it with elementor/v1/events/ embedded in the query string. It treats the target as vulnerable only when the control is blocked and the crafted request creates a randomized administrator account. The payload is account creation rather than shell execution or remote code execution. README.md documents the affected Elementor 4.3.0–4.3.1 range and states that 4.3.2 fixes the issue. The lab directory contains Docker Compose configuration for MySQL and WordPress 7.1.2, plus a Bash setup script that downloads Elementor 4.3.1, installs it with wp-cli, and invokes the PoC against a loopback-only listener. No established exploit framework is used.
