Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The News Kit Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress version 1.2.1 and earlier

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to extract sensitive private, pending, and draft Elementor template data via the render function in includes/widgets/canvas-menu/canvas-menu.php. This makes it possible to access sensitive information.

Recommendations For versions 1.2.1 and earlier, consider disabling the render function in includes/widgets/canvas-menu/canvas-menu.php as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the canvas-menu.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the render function in the affected plugin until the issue is resolved.
