Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-41955 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wpdeveloper Essential Addons for Elementor. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41955/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41955/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-41955","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41955/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-41955","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c7p9-328q-3x8f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Contributors can escalate privileges in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin due to improper privilege management.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"essential_addons_for_elementor","vendor":"wpdeveloper"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in WPDeveloper Essential Addons for Elementor allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Essential Addons for Elementor: from n/a through 5.8.8.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Essential Addons for Elementor plugin \u003c= 5.8.8 - Contributor+ Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41955","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wpdeveloper:essential_addons_for_elementor","products":["wpdeveloper:essential_addons_for_elementor"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Simple Membership plugin \u003c= 4.3.4 - Authenticated Account Takeover vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41956"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress ProfilePress plugin \u003c= 4.13.1 - Unauthenticated Limited Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41954"},"products":["Essential Addons for Elementor"],"published":"2024-05-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress Essential Addons for Elementor Plugin 5.4.0-5.7.1 is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-32243","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c 5.0.5 - Unauthenticated LFI","id":"CVE-2022-0320","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c= 4.6.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2021-4447","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Essential Addons for Elementor \u003c= 5.9.13 - Authenticated (Author+) PHP Object Injection via error_resetpassword","id":"CVE-2024-3018","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates \u0026 Widgets","id":"CVE-2024-8979","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-15"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates \u0026 Widgets","id":"CVE-2024-1536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["WPDeveloper"]},"summary":"Contributors can escalate privileges in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin due to improper privilege management.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41955/"}
