Plain English Summary

AI-powered analysis for quick understanding

This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher to create unauthorized draft posts of restricted types, such as pages, by manipulating a specific parameter. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly check if the user has the right permissions for the specific post type they are trying to create.

Technical Description

The The Plus Addons for Elementor – Addons for Elementor, Page Templates, Widgets, Mega Menu, WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.7. This is due to the tpae_create_page() AJAX handler authorizing users only with current_user_can('edit_posts') while accepting a user-controlled 'post_type' value passed directly to wp_insert_post() without post-type-specific capability checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to create arbitrary draft posts for restricted post types (e.g., 'page' and 'nxt_builder') via the 'post_type' parameter.
