Vulnerability Overview

The Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Basic Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.23.5 via the get_image_alt function.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reaching this weakness in Elementor Website Builder <= 3.24.5 takes an account at Contributor level or above. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Elementor Website Builder the fix is 3.24.6: builds <= 3.24.5 are affected, anything from 3.24.6 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 3.24.6, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?
