Technical details
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress due to improper authorization checks in its REST API. Specifically, the `elementor/v1/post` endpoint fails to validate if the requesting user has the necessary permissions to view non-public content. An authenticated attacker with at least Contributor-level privileges can bypass standard WordPress REST API restrictions by supplying specific parameters (such as `is_public=false` and a custom `keys_conversion_map`) to the Elementor endpoint. This allows the attacker to retrieve the title, content, and metadata of private posts, pages, and drafts authored by any user. The issue is fixed in version 4.1.4.
