At a glance

CVE-2025-10173 is a low-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 4.8.3. It carries a CVSS score of 2.7 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Editor level or above. The issue is fixed in version 4.8.4; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed September 2025, reported by Jonas Benjamin Friedli.

Vulnerability Overview

The ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon – All in One WooCommerce Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to an incorrect capability check on the post_save() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to update the plugin's settings.

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-862: Missing Authorization

ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon <= 4.8.3 carries this weakness at post_save(), and reaching it takes an account at Editor level or above. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon the fix is 4.8.4: builds <= 4.8.3 are affected, anything from 4.8.4 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 4.8.4, 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: ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon 4.8.4 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
