AI-suggested
Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates and apply any future patches promptly. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the ajax_load_more functionality or disabling the plugin if sensitive content exposure is a concern.
Description
The Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates & Widgets WordPress plugin is vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability in all versions up to and including 6.6.4. The vulnerability exists in the ajax_load_more function, which does not properly restrict access to posts. This allows unauthenticated attackers to access data from password protected, private, or draft posts that should normally be inaccessible.
