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

This is a missing authorization (broken access control) vulnerability in the Audier For Elementor WordPress plugin. The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before allowing access to certain functionality or data, allowing unauthorized users to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. An attacker with low-privilege access could potentially access functionality intended for higher-privileged users.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of Audier For Elementor when available. Until then, restrict administrative access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious unauthorized access attempts.

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 Audier For Elementor plugin is installed
    Log into WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and search for 'Audier For Elementor' or 'Audier' in the plugin list
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list and is activated
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    In the Plugins list, locate Audier For Elementor and note the version number displayed beneath the plugin name
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is older than the fixed release (compare against official WordPress repository for current version)
  3. Review user roles with access to plugin features
    Navigate to Users > All Users in WordPress admin, then check each role (Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber) to determine which roles have access to Audier For Elementor settings or functionality by accessing the plugin settings panel
    Affected if Lower-privileged roles such as Editor, Author, Contributor, or Subscriber have access to plugin settings or functionality intended for Administrators
  4. Test unauthorized access from low-privilege account
    Log in with a non-administrator account (such as Contributor), then attempt to access Audier For Elementor settings or restricted features directly via URL or menu access
    Affected if A user without Administrator role can access or modify plugin settings or restricted functionality

Your environment is affected if the Audier For Elementor plugin is installed and non-administrator users can access plugin features or settings that should require higher privileges.
