MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires only that a target WordPress site run the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin at version 2.0.20 or earlier; the vulnerable access-control-deficient endpoint is reachable by unauthenticated remote attackers against default configurations (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N/AC:L). The main limiting factors are the plugin being installed and active, and the modest C:L-only impact - the flaw discloses or exposes limited restricted data/functionality rather than granting write access, code execution, or full data compromise. No specific non-default setting or user interaction is indicated as required. |
| Impact | All signals point to a genuine but low-severity issue rather than a high-priority emergency. The vendor (Patchstack) CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N scores 5.3 (Medium), and my independent assessment agrees: network-reachable, no privileges, no user interaction, but the only impact is low-level confidentiality (C:L), with no integrity or availability effect. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a broken access-control endpoint that exposes some restricted data or functionality to unauthenticated callers. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation. The unauthenticated, low-complexity nature (PR:N/AC:L) means the barrier to exploitation is low if a working request is found, but the limited C:L-only impact keeps real-world risk modest. No conflicting signals between the vector and the description were detected - both consistently describe unauthenticated access-control bypass with limited confidentiality consequences. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to an AJAX or REST action exposed by the plugin that fails to verify the caller's authorization level. Because no login or user interaction is required (PR:N/UI:N), the attacker retrieves restricted information or invokes a protected function that should have been gated behind a capability check. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 01, 2026
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit missing authorization checks in the Unlimited Elements for Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) WordPress plugin, affecting all versions through 2.0.20. Because the vulnerable endpoint performs no proper access-control validation, a request sent without authentication can reach restricted functionality or data, though the assessed impact is limited to low confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability effect, giving a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3. There is no indication of confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis; the primary prerequisite is simply that an affected, active installation of the plugin be reachable over the network.
RemediationAI
No exact fix version is stated in the available intelligence, so the primary action is to update the Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin to the latest release available from the WordPress.org plugin repository, which is above the affected 2.0.20 boundary, and to verify the installed version after upgrading; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-unlimited-elements-for-elementor-free-widgets-addons-templates-plugin-2-0-20-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for the vendor-confirmed fixed build. If an immediate update is not possible, deactivate and remove the plugin until patched - this fully closes the exposure but removes all widgets, addons, and templates from the site. As a narrower compensating control, block or restrict requests to the plugin's admin-ajax.php actions and REST routes at the WAF or reverse proxy for unauthenticated clients, accepting the trade-off that some legitimate public-facing widget functionality may break. Additional hardening includes keeping WordPress core, Elementor, and all other plugins current, limiting plugin installation to actively maintained components, and monitoring web server logs for unusual unauthenticated requests to plugin endpoint paths, since exploitation requires no credentials and would appear as ordinary anonymous traffic.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), and the vendor advisory describes it as broken access control in the WordPress plugin Unlimited Elements for Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates). WordPress plugins typically expose privileged operations through admin-ajax.php actions or REST API routes, and secure implementations must gate them with capability checks such as current_user_can() and, for state-changing requests, nonce verification; when such checks are absent or incorrectly configured, an endpoint that should require a logged-in user with specific privileges can be invoked by anyone who can send HTTP requests to the site. The CPE entry confirms the affected component is the plugin itself (cpe:2.3:a:unlimited_elements:unlimited_elements_for_elementor_(free_widgets,_addons,_templates)), not the WordPress core or the Elementor page builder, meaning exposure is limited to sites where this specific widget/addon library is installed and active. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates the vulnerable path is reachable over the network with no authentication and no user interaction, but that the resulting consequence under this assessment is only limited unauthorized disclosure of or access to restricted content, rather than privilege escalation, data modification, or code execution.
