What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Events Addon for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.3 via the naevents_elementor_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 by Elementor that they should not have access to.
