Authenticated private-content disclosure via unchecked REST query
Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Jul 20, 2026
Information disclosure in Elementor Website Builder before 4.1.4 allows remote authenticated users to read private post data. The /wp-json/elementor/v1/post endpoint accepts an attacker-selected post ID and field map, then returns private content without checking read permission. Contributor-level access and a valid REST nonce are required; the flaw exposes other users' private posts, pages, drafts, scheduled posts, and pending posts without modifying them.
