Impact
Missing authorization in the PowerPack Addons for Elementor plugin allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, giving them the ability to view or modify plugin configuration and potentially elevate privileges within the WordPress installation. This flaw originates from incorrectly configured access control security levels, which is a classic broken access control weakness (CWE‑862).
Affected Systems
Affected product is the IdeaBox Creations PowerPack Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, versions from the initial release through 3.1.0. Any installation of this plugin with a vulnerable version is at risk.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers likely need access to a user account with sufficient privileges, but the flaw permits unauthorized users to exploit the plugin’s access controls, making the vulnerability potentially exploitable in both local and remote contexts. The lack of an official workaround means patching is the safest mitigation.
