AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Gold Addons for Elementor plugin suffers from a missing capability check (CWE-862) in its license activation and deactivation functions. This flaw permits authenticated users with low-level privileges (Subscriber and above) to modify license states, which should normally require higher privileges. The vulnerability is present in all versions up to 1.3.2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring low privileges but no user interaction, and impacts integrity without affecting confidentiality or availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access can activate or deactivate licenses in the plugin without proper authorization. This unauthorized modification could lead to license misuse or disruption of license management but does not impact confidentiality or availability of the system.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix has been disclosed yet. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only to reduce risk.
