Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Cowidgets – Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.0

Description The issue is related to Information Exposure due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be included via the ce template shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to extract data from private or draft posts created by Elementor that they should not have access to.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.2.0, update to the latest version immediately to protect your site. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ce template shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
