Technical details
A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in Wpmet ElementsKit Elementor addons Lite through version 3.9.6. The flaw stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels within the plugin's functional components. An authenticated attacker with 'Contributor' level privileges can exploit this lack of server-side authorization checks to execute functions or modify settings that should be restricted to higher-privileged users. The attack is reachable over the network and does not require user interaction, though it does require a valid low-level user account. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been confirmed.
