AI Analysis

Impact

The Solace Extra WordPress plugin fails to enforce authorization on the AJAX action used to retrieve Site Builder content. This oversight allows any web visitor, without authentication, to request and receive the HTML of components that are stored as drafts, pending, private, or trashed, which WordPress normally protects from unauthenticated users. The primary impact is the disclosure of potentially confidential or sensitive design data to anyone with internet access, compromising confidentiality of unpublished content.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects installations of the Solace Extra plugin, version 1.6.x and earlier. The attack requires the plugin to be active on a WordPress site; no other product or platform version information is indicated.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score of <1% indicates a very low likelihood of public exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited publicly known exploitation. No authentication is required, and an attacker can simply send a crafted AJAX request to the get_elementor_content endpoint to retrieve the content of draft, pending, private, or trashed Site Builder parts. A CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate risk; the unauthorized disclosure of unpublished content could compromise confidentiality, especially if the drafts contain sensitive or proprietary data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Solace Extra plugin to version 1.7.0 or later, which includes the fix for the unauthorized AJAX action.
  • If the plugin is not required for site functionality, consider disabling or uninstalling it to eliminate the vulnerability.
  • Restrict access to the get_elementor_content AJAX endpoint by configuring a web application firewall rule or server-side access control to allow only authenticated users.
