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 · uneditedAuthorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in Liton Arefin Master Addons for Elementor master-addons allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Master Addons for Elementor: from n/a through <= 2.0.9.9.4.
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 confidenceThis is an IDOR/authorization bypass vulnerability in Master Addons for Elementor where a user-controlled key allows attackers to bypass access control checks. The plugin incorrectly uses user-supplied input as all or part of an authorization decision, allowing unauthorized access to protected functionality.

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.
-
Verify Master Addons for Elementor is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and confirm 'Master Addons for Elementor' appears in the listAffected if Plugin is installed and active
-
Check installed plugin versionClick 'View details' on the plugin in the WordPress plugins page, or inspect the main plugin file (usually master-addons-for-elementor.php) to read the Version headerAffected if Version is unknown or within any unpatched release range compared to the fixed version
-
Identify endpoints using user input for authorizationReview plugin code for AJAX handlers or front-end endpoints that accept user-supplied keys or IDs and use them directly in access control logic without validationAffected if Any functionality processes user-controlled parameters (like keys, IDs, or tokens) as authorization decisions without server-side validation
-
Audit access control logicSearch plugin source code for functions that check user permissions using $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters directly (e.g., $_GET['key'] or $_REQUEST['id'])Affected if Code uses user-supplied input as all or part of authorization decisions without proper sanitization or validation
If Master Addons for Elementor is installed and its authorization logic relies on user-controlled parameters without server-side validation, the environment is affected by this IDOR vulnerability.

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 to the latest patched version of Master Addons for Elementor. If no patch is available, audit the plugin code for all user-controlled parameters used in authorization logic and implement server-side validation ensuring users can only access resources they are authorized for.
