Description

The Unlimited Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin before 2.0.21 does not check that a request to render widget output comes from a user allowed to make it, allowing users with a role as low as subscriber to have arbitrary WordPress shortcodes executed on the site. Version 2.0.18 removed the subscriber-level access, so from 2.0.18 onward the issue requires a Contributor role or above.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects the WordPress plugin 'Unlimited Elements For Elementor' versions before 2.0.21. It allows users with a Subscriber role or higher to execute arbitrary WordPress shortcodes by exploiting a flaw in the get_addon_output_data function. The issue was partially fixed in version 2.0.18, which restricted the exploit to users with at least a Contributor role.

Detection Guidance

Check the installed version of the Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin. If it is below 2.0.21, the system is vulnerable. Use WordPress admin panel or run a command like 'wp plugin list' in the WordPress directory to verify the version.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with a Subscriber role or higher could execute malicious shortcodes on your WordPress site, potentially leading to unauthorized actions, data theft, or defacement. Even with Contributor role, the risk remains significant as it allows code execution.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating GDPR's integrity and confidentiality principles or HIPAA's security requirements. Compliance may be compromised if sensitive data is exposed or altered due to the exploit.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin to version 2.0.21 or later immediately. If updating is not possible, restrict user roles to prevent Subscriber or Contributor level access to untrusted users until the update is applied.
