At a glance

CVE-2024-10798 is a medium-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in the Royal Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.7.1003. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Contributor level or above. The issue is fixed in version 1.7.1004; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed November 2024, reported by Francesco Carlucci.

Vulnerability Overview

The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1003 via the 'wpr-template' shortcode due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be included. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract data from private or draft posts created via Elementor that they should not have access to.

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-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

Royal Addons for Elementor <= 1.7.1003 carries this weakness at wpr-template, and reaching it takes an account at Contributor level or above. Authorization bypass through a user-controlled key, often called insecure direct object reference, means the application looks up a record by an identifier from the request without checking that the caller owns it.

Changing a number in the request is enough to read or modify other users' records, which on commerce and membership sites means customer data. For Royal Addons for Elementor the fix is 1.7.1004: builds <= 1.7.1003 are affected, anything from 1.7.1004 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.7.1004, 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: Royal Addons for Elementor 1.7.1004 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
