CVE-2023-47661
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in Dragfy Dragfy Addons for Elementor allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Dragfy Addons for Elementor: from n/a through 1.0.2.
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 · moderate confidenceMissing authorization vulnerability in Dragfy Addons for Elementor plugin versions through 1.0.2 allows unauthorized users to access functionality that should require higher privilege levels due to incorrectly configured access control security levels.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Dragfy Addons for Elementor is installedIn WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate 'Dragfy Addons for Elementor', or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the plugin folderAffected if Plugin is present and active on the WordPress site
-
Check installed version against 1.0.2View the plugin details in WordPress admin plugins list, or inspect the main plugin file (e.g., dragfy-addons-for-elementor.php) to find the 'Version' headerAffected if Version is 1.0.2 or lower (any version 'through 1.0.2' is affected)
-
Identify affected endpoints or AJAX actionsInspect plugin PHP files for action hooks (wp_ajax_*, wp_ajax_nopriv_*, admin_post_*) that handle sensitive operations; check for missing capability checks like 'manage_options' or current_user_can() before executing privileged actionsAffected if Plugin exposes admin-level functions (settings, content modification, user data access) without proper capability verification or without requiring authentication
-
Audit access control on plugin admin pagesAccess the WordPress admin and navigate to any Dragfy menu items; attempt to access plugin settings, add/edit functionality, or database operations without elevated privilegesAffected if Low-privilege users (subscriber, contributor, or unauthenticated visitors) can access or modify plugin settings or perform actions that should require administrator-level permissions
-
Verify if authorization checks exist in vulnerable code pathsSearch plugin source code for current_user_can(), check_admin_referer(), or nonce verification before sensitive operations; review AJAX handlers for nopriv callbacks that perform privileged actionsAffected if Code lacks capability checks or nonce validation on functions that modify site data, user data, or plugin configurations
Your environment is affected if the Dragfy Addons for Elementor plugin is installed with version 1.0.2 or lower AND the plugin exposes administrative functions or endpoints that can be accessed by unauthorized or low-privilege users without proper authorization checks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate Dragfy Addons for Elementor to a version beyond 1.0.2 that includes proper authorization checks, or implement role-based access control (RBAC) checks on affected endpoints if no update is available.
