Private post disclosure via unchecked shortcode key
Published Feb 19, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
IDOR in Education Addon for Elementor 1.3.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read nonpublic Elementor posts. The naedu_elementor_template shortcode uses a user-controlled post key without validating whether the requested post is public or authorized for the caller. Contributor-level access is required, and disclosure is limited to Elementor-created drafts, password-protected posts, and restricted posts.
