## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the REST API endpoint `/wpraddons/v1/wprmegamenu/` due to an insufficient permission check and a lack of post-status verification. The `permission_callback` for this route is set to `__return_true`, allowing unauthenticated access. An attacker can provide a `item_id` parameter to the endpoint; the plugin then retrieves and renders the associated Elementor template without checking if the menu item or the template itself is set to 'publish'. By enumerating integer IDs, an attacker can leak the rendered HTML content of private or draft templates used in Mega Menus. This issue is resolved in version 1.7.1063.
