Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This WordPress plugin flaw lets an attacker trick an administrator into activating plugins already installed on the site. It does not let the attacker install new code by itself, but enabling dormant plugins can change site behavior or expose other weaknesses. The issue requires administrator interaction and is not listed in CISA KEV.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate WordPress hygiene issue. It is not a standalone server compromise in the sources, but it can enable unwanted plugin changes on sites where an administrator is tricked. Prioritize internet-facing WooCommerce sites and environments with many dormant plugins.
Technical view
CVE-2024-0767 is a CSRF issue in Envo's Elementor Templates & Widgets for WooCommerce through 1.4.4. The ajax_plugin_activation function lacked proper nonce validation, allowing a forged request to activate arbitrary installed plugins when executed by an administrator browser session. CVSS is 4.3, medium, with low integrity impact and required user interaction.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running Envo's Elementor Templates & Widgets for WooCommerce versions up to and including 1.4.4, especially where administrators are likely to browse email or links while authenticated.
Exploitation context
The provided sources describe a CSRF condition requiring an attacker to lure an authenticated administrator into an action such as clicking a link. The source bundle does not identify active exploitation, public weaponization, or KEV listing.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports CSRF on ajax_plugin_activation due to missing or incorrect nonce validation. The impact is plugin activation, not installation or direct code execution. The affected range is stated as through 1.4.4; use vendor or repository records to confirm the fixed release.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for this plugin and version.
- Update the plugin according to vendor or WordPress plugin repository guidance.
- Remove the plugin where it is not operationally required.
- Review installed inactive plugins that could create risk if activated.
- Limit administrator browsing and use separate accounts for routine work.
Validation and detection
- Confirm the plugin version is above the affected range.
- Verify ajax_plugin_activation includes proper nonce validation after update.
- Check recent plugin activation history for unexpected changes.
- Review administrator activity around suspicious emails or links.
- Confirm unnecessary installed plugins have been removed or disabled.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
