CVE-2026-2284

The News Element Elementor Blog Magazine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8. This is due to a missing capability check and nonce verification on the 'ne_clean_data' AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to truncate 8 core WordPress database tables (posts, comments, terms, term_relationships, term_taxonomy, postmeta, commentmeta, termmeta) and delete the entire WordPress uploads directory, resulting in complete data loss.

Summary		(es) El plugin News Element Elementor Blog Magazine para WordPress es vulnerable a Autorización Faltante en todas las versiones hasta la 1.0.8, inclusive. Esto se debe a una verificación de capacidad faltante y una verificación de nonce en la acción AJAX 'ne_clean_data'. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Suscriptor y superior, trunquen 8 tablas principales de la base de datos de WordPress (posts, comments, terms, term_relationships, term_taxonomy, postmeta, commentmeta, termmeta) y eliminen el directorio completo de subidas de WordPress, lo que resulta en una pérdida completa de datos.
