WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
News Kit Addons For Elementor <= 1.4.7 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Post Meta Update via nekit_update_mega_menu_form
Description
The plugin does not perform capability or ownership checks before updating post metadata in one of its authenticated AJAX actions, allowing users with subscriber-level access and above to write arbitrary post meta, under attacker-chosen keys, to any post including those owned by other users. This can be used to overwrite protected core metadata and tamper with content created by higher-privileged users.
