At a glance

CVE-2024-32782 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the HT Mega Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.4.7. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). The root cause is a missing authorization check on a reachable function. The issue is fixed in version 2.4.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed April 2024, reported by Khalid.

Vulnerability Overview

The HT Mega plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to an insufficient capability check on the duplicate() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to duplicate arbitrary posts that may contain sensitive information.

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

HT Mega Addons for Elementor <= 2.4.7 carries this weakness at duplicate(), and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. 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 HT Mega Addons for Elementor the fix is 2.4.8: builds <= 2.4.7 are affected, anything from 2.4.8 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 2.4.8, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: HT Mega Addons for Elementor 2.4.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
