Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Missing authorization vulnerability in Dynamic.ooo Dynamic Visibility for Elementor plugin allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before allowing access to visibility control features, potentially enabling unauthorized modification of element visibility settings.

MitigationUpgrade Dynamic Visibility for Elementor to version 5.0.6 or later which includes proper authorization checks. Until patched, restrict backend access to trusted administrators only.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Dynamic Visibility for Elementor is installed
    Check your WordPress plugin directory or admin panel to confirm the Dynamic.ooo Dynamic Visibility for Elementor plugin is present and active
    Affected if Plugin is installed and active in WordPress
  2. Confirm Elementor Page Builder is active
    Verify that Elementor page builder plugin is also installed and active, as this vulnerability affects the integration between the two plugins
    Affected if Both Dynamic Visibility and Elementor are active simultaneously
  3. Inspect visibility control feature access
    Attempt to access or modify element visibility settings through the plugin interface with a low-privilege user account (non-administrator) to test if authorization is properly enforced
    Affected if Non-administrator users can access or modify visibility settings without proper permission validation

Environment is affected if Dynamic Visibility for Elementor plugin versions prior to 5.0.6 are installed and active alongside Elementor, with visibility control features accessible without proper authorization checks.
