Unauthenticated private-content disclosure via unchecked theme_id rendering
Published Aug 15, 2026 · Updated Aug 15, 2026
Improper access control in Dudaster Ele Custom Skin for Elementor before 4.3.8 allows remote attackers to read unpublished documents. The ecsload AJAX pagination handler uses post_id for a public wrapper but renders the attacker-supplied theme_id without checking its post status or caller capability. Exploitation requires the Legacy module, a published custom_grid template, and a known target identifier; no authentication is required.
