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

Reaching this weakness in Stratum Widgets for Elementor <= 1.4.4 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 Stratum Widgets for Elementor the fix is 1.4.5: builds <= 1.4.4 are affected, anything from 1.4.5 onward is not.
