Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This CVE affects the WordPress Easy Elementor Addons plugin through version 2.2.7. A logged-in user may be able to perform actions they should not be authorized to perform. The expected business impact is limited integrity risk rather than data theft or outage, based on the published CVSS vector.
Executive priority
Handle in normal vulnerability remediation cycles, faster for public WordPress sites with open registration or many non-admin users. The published impact is medium, focused on unauthorized changes rather than confidentiality or availability.
Technical view
The issue is a missing authorization flaw, mapped to CWE-862, in hashthemes Easy Elementor Addons. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, meaning network-reachable exploitation requires low privileges and can cause limited integrity impact without user interaction.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running Easy Elementor Addons version 2.2.7 or earlier. The source bundle does not identify affected functions, roles, or exact unauthorized actions.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation. Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privileged user, which reduces likelihood but still matters for sites allowing registrations, contributors, customers, or many staff accounts.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse. The bundle identifies missing authorization and the affected version range but not the vulnerable endpoint, capability check, exploit path, fixed version, or workaround. Avoid assuming broader impact without vendor details.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites using Easy Elementor Addons.
- Check vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Upgrade beyond affected versions when a supported fix is confirmed.
- Reduce unnecessary WordPress user privileges until remediated.
- Disable the plugin if no fix exists and business impact allows.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Easy Elementor Addons is installed.
- Record the installed plugin version on each WordPress site.
- Treat version 2.2.7 or earlier as affected.
- Review WordPress users with low-privilege authenticated access.
- Check audit logs for unexpected plugin-related content or setting changes.
