DynamicKit for Elementor < 1.0.3 — Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under DynamicKit for Elementor.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.
• No account is needed to exploit this. Treat any exposed site on an affected version as at risk.

What to do

1. Update to version 1.0.3, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch DynamicKit for Elementor to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Pedro Pinho.

The DynamicKit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to 1.0.3 (exclusive). This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
