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 the Unlimited Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin allows users to perform actions without proper capability verification. This could permit unauthenticated or lower-privileged users to access administrative functions they should not have permission to execute.

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 plugin installationIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Unlimited Elements for Elementor', or check the plugin files in wp-content/plugins/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/ directoryAffected if The plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
-
Identify installed versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate the version number listed under the Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin, or read the version in the plugin's main PHP file header (usually plugin.php or unlimited-elements.php)Affected if The version number is lower than 1.5.110 (for example, 1.5.100, 1.5.1, etc.)
-
Check for exposed admin AJAX actionsInspect the plugin's main PHP file for add_action calls registering AJAX handlers (search for 'wp_ajax_' and 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' hooks). Use a tool like grep to search: grep -r "wp_ajax_" /path/to/wp-content/plugins/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/Affected if AJAX actions are registered with wp_ajax_nopriv_ (which allows unauthenticated access) and do not include capability checks using current_user_can() or nonce verification before executing sensitive operations
-
Review capability checks in plugin functionsSearch the plugin PHP files for critical admin functions and verify they include current_user_can() capability checks. Use grep to search: grep -r "current_user_can" /path/to/wp-content/plugins/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/ and compare against AJAX handler functionsAffected if Sensitive functions that modify settings, create content, or access admin capabilities lack proper current_user_can() verification before execution
The site is affected if Unlimited Elements for Elementor is installed with a version lower than 1.5.110 AND the plugin exposes AJAX actions accessible without authentication or lacks capability checks on administrative functions.
