CVE-2026-8825: CWE-200 Information Exposure in Elementor Website Builder
The Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin before 4.1.4 does not properly check user permissions before returning post data through one of its REST endpoints, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access and above to retrieve the title, body and metadata of private posts, private pages and drafts authored by other users (including administrators).
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.1.4 contain a CWE-200 information exposure vulnerability. The issue arises from insufficient permission checks on a REST API endpoint, enabling authenticated users with Contributor-level or higher privileges to access private content authored by others. This includes private posts, pages, and drafts, potentially exposing sensitive information to unauthorized users within the same WordPress installation.
Potential Impact
Authenticated users with Contributor-level access or above can access private post data, including titles, content bodies, and metadata, of other users' private posts, pages, and drafts. This exposure could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information within the WordPress site. There is no indication of remote unauthenticated exploitation or broader system compromise from the provided data.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation guidance is currently confirmed. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for any unusual activity related to REST API usage.
