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 WProyal Royal Elementor Addons allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects Royal Elementor Addons: from n/a before 1.7.1053.

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 · low confidence

Royal Elementor Addons before version 1.7.1053 contains a missing authorization vulnerability allowing attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This likely permits unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access functionality they should not have permission to use.

MitigationUpdate Royal Elementor Addons to version 1.7.1053 or later to obtain the vendor patch. If immediate update is not possible, review access control configurations and restrict sensitive 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate Royal Elementor Addons plugin directory
    Check the WordPress plugins folder (typically /wp-content/plugins/) for a directory named 'royal-elementor-addon' or similar naming pattern
    Affected if The plugin directory is not found - the plugin may not be installed or may use a different naming convention
  2. Retrieve the installed version number
    Open the main plugin file (usually plugin.php or the primary PHP file in the plugin directory) and locate the version declaration in the plugin header comment, or check the readme.txt file for the 'Version' field
    Affected if Unable to retrieve a version number from the plugin files
  3. Compare version against 1.7.1053
    Parse the retrieved version string and compare it numerically to 1.7.1053 (for example, 1.7.1052 would be vulnerable, 1.7.1053 or higher would not be)
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.7.1053 (such as 1.7.1052, 1.7.1050, 1.7.0, etc.)
  4. Confirm plugin is active on the site
    Log into the WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or query the WordPress database options table for the active_plugins option
    Affected if The plugin is installed with a vulnerable version AND is currently activated on the WordPress site

A user is affected if Royal Elementor Addons is installed, active, and the installed version is earlier than 1.7.1053.
