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
Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in Rometheme RTMKit rometheme-for-elementor allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects RTMKit: from n/a through <= 1.6.7.

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

Authorization bypass vulnerability in Rometheme RTMKit plugin for Elementor allows attackers to bypass access controls by manipulating user-controlled keys. This broken access control flaw enables unauthorized access to protected functionality due to incorrectly configured security levels.

MitigationUpdate RTMKit to the latest version to obtain the security patch. If no update is available, implement proper server-side validation of user-controlled keys and enforce role-based access control checks on all sensitive operations.

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. Confirm RTMKit plugin installation
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and locate Rometheme RTMKit for Elementor. Note its active/inactive status.
    Affected if RTMKit plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
  2. Identify installed RTMKit version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, click on RTMKit details to view the version number, or check the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/rometheme-rtmkit/rtmkit.php
    Affected if Version is lower than the patched release (compare against current stable version)
  3. Verify user-controlled key endpoints exist
    Review RTMKit settings pages in Elementor or WordPress admin for any functionality that accepts user keys or tokens. Check for AJAX endpoints under wp-admin/admin-ajax.php or REST API routes containing 'rtmkit' in the URL.
    Affected if The plugin exposes endpoints accepting user-supplied keys without proper validation
  4. Inspect access control configuration
    Go to RTMKit plugin settings and check security/authorization configurations. Look for options related to API keys, user authentication, or role-based access settings.
    Affected if Security level is set to allow unauthenticated or low-privilege access to protected features
  5. Test for authorization bypass
    Use browser dev tools or a request tool (curl) to send a modified request with manipulated key parameters to RTMKit functionality. Observe if access is granted to features that should require higher privileges.
    Affected if Manipulating user-controlled key parameters grants unauthorized access to protected functionality

If RTMKit plugin is installed and its user-controlled key functionality is accessible without proper authorization validation, the environment is affected by this CVE.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update RTMKit to the latest version to obtain the security patch. If no update is available, implement proper server-side validation of user-controlled keys and enforce role-based access control checks on all sensitive operations.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest version of Rometheme RTMKit (version higher than 1.6.7)

  1. 1. Identify the current installed version of Rometheme RTMKit (rometheme-for-elementor) in your WordPress environment
  2. 2. Update the plugin to the latest available version from the WordPress plugin repository or the official vendor source
  3. 3. Verify the update was successful by checking the plugin version number
  4. 4. Test that the plugin functionality remains intact after the update
  5. 5. Review access control configurations to ensure the authorization bypass vulnerability is no longer exploitable
Caveat Minor or major compatibility issues possible if the update includes significant changes to the plugin architecture or removes deprecated features
