Executive Summary

The Royal Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before version 1.7.1066 has a vulnerability where it does not check user capabilities or validate nonces before returning taxonomy term data. This allows unauthenticated users to access and disclose the names and IDs of terms in non-public taxonomies.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if the Royal Addons for Elementor plugin version is below 1.7.1066. Use WordPress commands like 'wp plugin list' or inspect the plugin files for version details. Test by accessing arbitrary taxonomy endpoints to see if non-public term data is exposed.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow attackers to gather sensitive information about your WordPress site's taxonomy structure, including non-public terms. This information could be used to plan further attacks or exploit other weaknesses in the system.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by exposing non-public taxonomy term data without authentication. Unauthorized disclosure of such data may violate confidentiality requirements under these regulations, depending on the nature of the exposed terms. For example, if the taxonomy contains sensitive personal or health-related information, this could lead to non-compliance with GDPR's data protection principles or HIPAA's privacy rules.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Royal Addons for Elementor plugin to version 1.7.1066 or later to address the missing capability and nonce checks.
