Security is paramount at Elementor. If you discover a security vulnerability, we want to hear about it right away, and we appreciate your help in disclosing it to us in a coordinated manner. For this reason, we run community-driven Managed Security Bug Bounty programs.
We leverage the collective expertise of our community, offering round-the-clock crowdsourced vulnerability detection. These programs provide a comprehensive overview of features and endpoints considered 'in scope,' reward specifics where relevant, and our complete terms and conditions.
Join our Managed Security Bug Bounty programs instead and help us maintain Elementor, a secure software, responsibly.

If you found a bug in the source code and can reproduce it consistently after troubleshooting it, you can help us by submitting a Bug Report.
