CVE-2025-0661: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in detheme DethemeKit for Elementor
The DethemeKit For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.36 via the duplicate_post() function due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be duplicated. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract data from password protected, private, draft, or scheduled posts that they should not have access to by duplicating the post.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-0661 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the DethemeKit for Elementor WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 2.36. The vulnerability arises from the duplicate_post() function, which lacks proper access control checks, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level permissions or higher to duplicate posts they should not access. This leads to unauthorized information disclosure of protected or private post content. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key).
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can extract sensitive information from posts that are password protected, private, drafts, or scheduled by duplicating them. This results in unauthorized information disclosure but does not affect integrity or availability. The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a medium impact primarily on confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, limit Contributor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to post duplication. Avoid granting unnecessary permissions that could be exploited via this vulnerability.
