Executive brief
Elementor Website Builder is a popular WordPress plugin used to design and build websites. A security vulnerability in versions 4.1.3 and earlier allows users with 'Contributor' level access to view sensitive information that should normally be restricted. This could lead to the exposure of internal site data, potentially helping an attacker plan further unauthorized actions against the website.
Technical details

An attacker with 'Contributor' level privileges can exploit this flaw to access information that is intended to be restricted from their role. The vulnerability is reachable over the network without user interaction, provided the attacker has a valid low-level account. The issue is resolved in version 4.1.4.
