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 a valid authenticated account on the target site (PR:L) - typically a low-privilege role such as subscriber - and the site must be running PowerPack Addons for Elementor (powerpack-lite-for-elementor) at any version up to and including 3.1.0. The flaw is a missing authorization/capability check on a plugin action, so no special non-default configuration or user interaction is needed, but exploitation is limited by the authentication requirement and yields only limited confidentiality disclosure (no integrity or availability impact). Anonymous/unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the CVSS vector.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862) whose real-world urgency is low. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires an already-authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L), and the only impact is a limited confidentiality breach (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect. No EPSS probability, CISA KEV entry, or public proof-of-concept was supplied in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active or automated exploitation. The signals are internally consistent - a modest authorization-boundary bug typical of Patchstack-reported WordPress plugin issues - rather than conflicting. Bottom line: a genuine but low-priority defect, not a drop-everything issue; it warrants routine patching rather than emergency response. Note that EPSS data is absent, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds any low-privileged account (e.g., subscriber) on a WordPress site running PowerPack Addons for Elementor ≤ 3.1.0 sends a request to a plugin action that lacks a proper capability/authorization check, obtaining data or functionality intended for higher-privileged roles. No public exploit code is identified, and exploitation is bounded to a limited confidentiality disclosure per the CVSS vector.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026

PowerPack Addons for Elementor through 3.1.0 lets authenticated low-privilege users bypass access controls and read limited protected data because a plugin action lacks a capability check. The medium-severity CVSS 4.3 flaw requires a valid account (PR:L) and yields only confidentiality impact; no public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No exact fixed version is identified in the provided data; check the Patchstack advisory for the current patched release and upgrade PowerPack Addons for Elementor beyond 3.1.0 as soon as a fix is published. Until then, reduce exposure by limiting self-registration and auditing low-privilege accounts, since exploitation requires an authenticated subscriber-level session; disabling the plugin removes the vulnerable action but also removes its Elementor widgets and features. Consider a WAF or virtual patching rule that blocks suspicious requests to the plugin's AJAX/REST endpoints from low-privilege users, and monitor logs for unusual data reads by subscriber accounts.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a WordPress plugin missing authorization (CWE-862): an action exposed by PowerPack Addons for Elementor fails to call current_user_can() or an equivalent capability check before returning data. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates the endpoint is reachable over the network but requires any authenticated account-such as a subscriber-and exposes only limited confidential information without modifying or disrupting the site. The Patchstack advisory tracks this as broken access control / authentication bypass in powerpack-lite-for-elementor up to 3.1.0.
