Published Mar 23, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in BdThemes Element Pack Addons for Elementor 5.4.11 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to duplicate posts. Public advisories identify the duplicate-post operation but do not disclose the handler, parameter, or omitted authorization check.
