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.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

The Events Addon for Elementor contains an authorization flaw that allows authenticated users to access sensitive event information they should not be able to view. An attacker with a low-privilege account can read data from events without proper permission checks. This affects versions up to 2.2.3. Update to a version newer than 2.2.3 to resolve the issue.
