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 · unedited
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Rometheme RomethemeKit For Elementor.This issue affects RomethemeKit For Elementor: from n/a through 1.4.1.

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 confidence

A Missing Authorization vulnerability exists in RomethemeKit For Elementor plugin versions up to 1.4.1, allowing unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access certain functionality or data that should require proper authentication and capability checks.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks (capability verification and nonce validation) on all sensitive functions and AJAX actions within the plugin to ensure users can only access resources they are permitted to access.

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 RomethemeKit For Elementor plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress plugin directory (wp-content/plugins) for a folder named romethemekit-for-elementor or romethemekit, or view it in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The RomethemeKit For Elementor plugin is present in the plugins directory and is activated
  2. Identify the installed version number
    Open the main plugin file (usually main.php, index.php, or the plugin root file) and locate the Version header in the plugin comment block, or check the version displayed in the WordPress admin plugins list
    Affected if The reported version is 1.4.1 or any version lower than 1.4.1
  3. Check if the plugin exposes AJAX actions
    Search the plugin source code for do_action('wp_ajax_') and do_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_') declarations, or look for add_action calls referencing wp_ajax hooks to identify exposed endpoints
    Affected if The plugin registers AJAX actions accessible to unauthenticated users (wp_ajax_nopriv_) without proper authorization checks
  4. Inspect AJAX callbacks for capability and nonce validation
    Examine the callback functions registered to AJAX hooks - look for current_user_can() calls to verify capability checks and wp_verify_nonce() or check_ajax_referer() for nonce validation
    Affected if AJAX callback functions lack capability checks (current_user_can) or nonce validation before executing sensitive operations

You are affected if the RomethemeKit For Elementor plugin is installed at version 1.4.1 or lower and exposes AJAX actions or other functions that execute without verifying user authentication or authorization capabilities.
