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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated session on the target WordPress site at low privilege (CVSS PR:L) - typically a registered account such as a subscriber, which is most reachable where open user registration is enabled. The flaw is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the Better Post & Filter Widgets for Elementor plugin at versions up to and including 1.9.1, exposing sensitive data (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact. The exact plugin feature, endpoint, or access-control setting that is improperly protected is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors: the attacker must hold a valid account (not fully unauthenticated), and impact is confined to information disclosure; the plugin must be installed and active alongside Elementor. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority, not emergency, issue. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.5) describes a network-exploitable, low-complexity missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) that requires some level of authentication (PR:L) and yields a confidentiality-only impact (C:H, with no integrity or availability effect). The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' rather than act_now or emergency, which is consistent with the signal picture: there is no CISA KEV listing (not confirmed as actively exploited), no EPSS score was supplied, and no verified working exploit code is referenced - only a Patchstack database advisory. The signals are internally consistent rather than conflicting: a medium-severity, authenticated data-exposure bug in a WordPress plugin. EPSS is simply absent (not provided), so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from this input. The PR:L requirement meaningfully limits blast radius, since an attacker needs at least a valid low-privilege account on the target site. Treat as a scheduled-patch item, not a drop-everything emergency, pending any change in KEV/EPSS status. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privilege authenticated account (e.g., a self-registered subscriber on a site with open registration) sends a request to a plugin endpoint that fails to enforce proper authorization, and receives data they should not be able to read. Because the impact is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N), the realistic outcome is disclosure of sensitive information rather than modification or site takeover. No verified public exploit code is referenced; only a Patchstack advisory exists at the time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026
Missing authorization in the Better Post & Filter Widgets for Elementor plugin through version 1.9.1 allows a low-privilege authenticated user, such as a registered subscriber, to read sensitive data that the plugin should restrict. The assessed CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 with a vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, so the impact is confidentiality-only and requires a valid account on the WordPress site; the plugin must also be installed and active with Elementor. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis and CISA KEV does not list this CVE; the issue is considered moderate priority rather than an emergency.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the supplied data; monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/better-post-filter-widgets-for-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-better-post-filter-widgets-for-elementor-plugin-1-9-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for the fixed release and update the plugin when it is available. Until then, disable or remove the plugin if it is not required, restrict open user registration to reduce the availability of low-privilege authenticated accounts that the assessed vector requires, and review subscriber-level accounts for unexpected access to plugin data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the WordPress plugin Better Post & Filter Widgets for Elementor, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:wp_smart_widgets:better_post_&_filter_widgets_for_elementor:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and reported as affecting versions through 1.9.1. The root cause is CWE-862 Missing Authorization, meaning a function or endpoint lacks an access-control check and can be reached by a user who should not have permission; the exact plugin feature, endpoint, or access-control setting that is improperly protected is not described in the available sources. Exploitation requires an authenticated session at low privilege (CVSS PR:L), which is most reachable where open user registration is enabled, and the assessed impact is limited to sensitive data disclosure (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact.
