Missing Authorization vulnerability in Unlimited Elements Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.
This issue affects Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates): from n/a through 2.0.15.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor WordPress plugin (versions through 2.0.15) permits authenticated low-privileged users to invoke restricted plugin functions without proper authorization. The flaw, rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), allows a subscriber- or contributor-level WordPress account to perform actions that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles, resulting in low-impact integrity and availability consequences. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Technical ContextAI
The affected product is the Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) WordPress plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:unlimited_elements:unlimited_elements_for_elementor_(free_widgets,_addons,_templates):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a pattern where the application does not verify that the authenticated user holds sufficient permission before executing a sensitive operation. In WordPress plugins, this typically manifests as AJAX handlers, REST API endpoints, or admin-post actions that check only for authentication (is_user_logged_in) rather than capability checks (current_user_can). The plugin extends Elementor's page-builder with additional widgets, templates, and addons, meaning the vulnerable actions likely touch widget management, template import/export, or addon configuration - functions that should be restricted to editors or administrators.
RemediationAI
Update the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin to a version beyond 2.0.15 as soon as the vendor releases a patched build; the exact patched version is not independently confirmed in available data, so administrators should check the WordPress plugin repository changelog or 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-2-0-15-broken-access-control-vulnerability for the confirmed fix version. As an interim compensating control, disable open user registration (Settings > General > 'Anyone can register') to remove the low-privilege account vector available to untrusted users - this limits exploitation to already-trusted accounts, significantly reducing realistic risk. If the plugin is not actively needed, deactivating and removing it eliminates the attack surface entirely with no functional trade-off for sites not using Elementor widgets from this addon.
