Missing Authorization vulnerability in FocuxTheme WPKit For Elementor allows Privilege Escalation. This issue affects WPKit For Elementor: from n/a through 1.1.0.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization checks in the WPKit For Elementor WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.1.0) allow unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges via crafted requests that modify arbitrary WordPress options. The vulnerability requires user interaction and can lead to privilege escalation without user awareness. No active exploitation is confirmed, and EPSS indicates a very low exploitation probability (0.09%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the WPKit For Elementor plugin’s AJAX handlers, which lack proper capability checks (CWE-862 Missing Authorization). WordPress options are stored in the database and control site behaviour, including user role assignments. By exploiting the missing authorization on an AJAX endpoint, an attacker can update these options without the required user permissions, typically resulting in privilege escalation. The affected software is identified as 'FocuxTheme WPKit For Elementor' (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:focuxtheme:wpkit_for_elementor:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*') up to version 1.1.0.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is available at this time, and the plugin appears to be abandoned or removed. The recommended immediate action is to disable and uninstall the WPKit For Elementor plugin entirely. If the plugin is critical, an interim workaround could involve blocking direct access to the plugin’s AJAX endpoints via a web application firewall, but this may not fully prevent exploitation and may break plugin functionality. There is no known official fix version. Users should monitor the Patchstack advisory for updates.
