Subscriber-level notice dismissal via missing authorization
Published Dec 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in Elementor Timeline Widget 2.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to dismiss administrative notices. The vulnerable code resides in the plugin's notice component, but the affected handler and omitted authorization operation are not publicly identified. Subscriber access is sufficient; the demonstrated consequence is limited to changing notice state, with no reported data disclosure or code execution.
