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 an authenticated account with at least low-level privileges (PR:L in the CVSS vector), such as a subscriber on a site permitting open user registration; it is not exploitable by anonymous/unauthenticated visitors. The affected component is reachable over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and needs no user interaction (UI:N). The specific plugin feature, configuration setting, or endpoint that lacks the authorization check is not described in the available sources. Exploitation is limited to installations running Unlimited Elements For Elementor at or before version 2.0.26, and impact is confined to confidentiality (read-only exposure); no integrity or availability effect is indicated. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity Missing Authorization / Broken Access Control flaw (CWE-862) in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor WordPress plugin, rated CVSS 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). The signals are internally consistent and point to a limited-impact issue rather than a top-priority emergency: the vector is network-reachable with low complexity but requires low-level authentication (PR:L, i.e. an existing authenticated account such as subscriber/contributor), and impact is confined to a low confidentiality breach only (C:L, I:N, A:N) with no scope change. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' - a routine patch-cycle priority, not act_now/emergency. No CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score were provided, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis (the single reference is a Patchstack advisory entry, not exploit code). The combination of required authentication, low confidentiality-only impact, and absence of exploitation evidence means this is a genuine but low-to-moderate priority issue - best handled in a normal update cycle rather than as an urgent out-of-band response. Note: no EPSS, KEV, or SSVC automatable/technical-impact data was supplied, so the real-world exploitation-probability dimension cannot be assessed from the input. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privilege authenticated account (for example a subscriber on a site that allows open registration) sends a request to a plugin function that fails to enforce a proper capability/authorization check, gaining read access to data they should not be able to view. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the exact triggering function is not described in the available sources. Because the CVSS vector is PR:L, exploitation requires authentication and is not achievable by a fully anonymous visitor. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Missing authorization in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) WordPress plugin affects every release through 2.0.26, letting a logged-in low-privilege user reach data that the plugin's access control is supposed to keep from them. The flaw is CWE-862 broken access control rated CVSS 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), so impact is limited to confidentiality and requires an authenticated account - the CVSS vector's PR:L means a subscriber-level user on a site with open registration is enough, and anonymous visitors cannot trigger it. As of this analysis there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; Patchstack is credited with the disclosure and the vendor advisory does not name a fixed version.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the available sources and the advisory does not state a fixed version, so the affected range should be treated as everything through 2.0.26 until Unlimited Elements publishes a release that explicitly addresses the authorization gap; check the Patchstack entry at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-unlimited-elements-for-elementor-free-widgets-addons-templates-plugin-2-0-26-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for the fixed version once it is added, and update only to a version the vendor confirms contains the fix rather than assuming a later 2.0.x build resolves it. Because exploitation requires a low-privilege authenticated account, the actionable compensating controls are to disable open user registration or gate it behind manual approval so subscriber-level accounts cannot be self-provisioned, and to audit and prune existing low-privilege accounts - the trade-off being lost self-service signup and possible friction for legitimate members. If the plugin's front-end or AJAX functionality is not needed from untrusted users, restrict access to those endpoints at the web server or WAF layer; this reduces exposure but can break legitimate widget rendering and template features for logged-in users. Removing or deactivating the plugin entirely eliminates the exposure at the cost of losing its Elementor widgets, addons and templates.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The target is a WordPress plugin distributed through the wordpress.org ecosystem that supplies Elementor widgets, addons and templates; the affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:unlimited_elements:unlimited_elements_for_elementor_(free_widgets,_addons,_templates):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all versions through 2.0.26. The root cause class is CWE-862, Missing Authorization - a function or data path exposed by the plugin performs no capability or nonce/authorization check before returning its result, which the Patchstack advisory frames as exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels. Because the plugin runs inside WordPress, the usual missing primitive would be a current_user_can() capability test or equivalent guard on the exposed operation, but the specific feature, endpoint, AJAX action or REST route that lacks the check is not described in the available sources, and the trigger is therefore not described in the available sources. The CVSS vector only supports what it states: network reachability, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and a confidentiality-only impact. One reference tag uses the phrase 'Authentication Bypass', but the assessed vector requires an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L), so this should not be read as a pre-auth bypass.
