Vulnerability Overview
The Miraculous Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7.This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges.
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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management
Reaching this weakness in Miraculous Elementor <= 2.0.7 takes an account at Subscriber level or above. Improper privilege management means the code lets an account end up with capabilities its role should not have.
It converts a low-privileged account into an administrative one, which makes every other restriction on the site irrelevant. For Miraculous Elementor the fix is 2.0.8: builds <= 2.0.7 are affected, anything from 2.0.8 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.0.8, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Miraculous Elementor 2.0.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
