AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-24605 is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the WordPress X Addons for Elementor Plugin (versions up to 1.0.23). It occurs due to missing authorization, authentication, or nonce token checks in certain plugin functions, which allows unprivileged users (like contributors or developers) to perform actions that normally require higher privileges. [1]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability could allow users with lower privileges to perform unauthorized actions that should be restricted to higher privilege users. However, the CVSS severity score is 4.3 (low severity), and exploitation is considered unlikely to have a significant impact. There is currently no official fix or patched version available. [1]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
Detection of this vulnerability involves checking for missing authorization or access control issues in the X Addons for Elementor plugin, particularly versions up to 1.0.23. Since the vulnerability allows unprivileged users to perform higher privilege actions, monitoring for unusual privilege escalations or unauthorized actions by contributors or developers could help. However, no specific detection commands or network signatures are provided in the available resources. [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include restricting user roles to minimize unprivileged users' ability to perform sensitive actions, monitoring and auditing user activities for unauthorized access, and applying any available mitigation solutions or security intelligence provided by Patchstack. Since there is no official fix or patched version available as of the latest update, applying compensating controls is recommended. [1]
