CVE-2023-6582: ElementsKit Lite <= 3.0.3 - Unauthenticated Sensitive Information Exposure

The ElementsKit Elementor addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.3 via the ekit_widgetarea_content function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to obtain contents of posts in draft, private or pending review status that should not be visible to the general public. This applies to posts created with Elementor only.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This issue can let unauthenticated visitors view WordPress content that should remain unpublished or restricted. The exposed content is limited to draft, private, or pending-review posts created with Elementor on sites using vulnerable ElementsKit Lite versions.

Executive priority

Treat this as a moderate confidentiality risk. Prioritize remediation for marketing, legal, product, or investor-facing sites where unpublished Elementor content may contain sensitive business information.

Technical view

CVE-2023-6582 is a CWE-284 sensitive information exposure in ElementsKit Lite through version 3.0.3. The vulnerable ekit_widgetarea_content function can disclose Elementor-created posts in non-public statuses. CVSS 3.1 is 5.3, with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, and confidentiality impact only.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely on public WordPress sites running ElementsKit Lite 3.0.3 or earlier where Elementor-created draft, private, or pending posts contain sensitive information.

Exploitation context

The source bundle indicates unauthenticated network access with no user interaction. It does not cite active exploitation, and CISA KEV status is false.

Researcher notes

The key constraint is content scope: only Elementor-created posts in draft, private, or pending-review status are described as exposed. The bundle cites vulnerable code and a WordPress changeset, but no KEV listing or active exploitation evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory WordPress sites using ElementsKit Lite and identify versions 3.0.3 or earlier.
  • Update ElementsKit Lite beyond 3.0.3 after confirming vendor guidance and compatibility.
  • Review Elementor-created draft, private, and pending posts for sensitive content.
  • Limit sensitive material in unpublished Elementor content until remediation is confirmed.
  • Monitor vendor, Wordfence, and WordPress plugin advisories for fixed-version details.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm the installed ElementsKit Lite version on each WordPress site.
  • Verify affected sites use Elementor-created draft, private, or pending-review posts.
  • Review logs for unusual unauthenticated access to ElementsKit widget area functionality.
  • Confirm remediation by checking the plugin version and vendor advisory status.
  • Track CVE-2023-6582 in vulnerability management until all affected sites are cleared.
