FKIE_CVE-2026-2917

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-11 08:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:32
Summary
The Happy Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.21.0 via the `ha_duplicate_thing` admin action handler. This is due to the `can_clone()` method only checking `current_user_can('edit_posts')` (a general capability) without performing object-level authorization such as `current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id)`, and the nonce being tied to the generic action name `ha_duplicate_thing` rather than to a specific post ID. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to clone any published post, page, or custom post type by obtaining a valid clone nonce from their own posts and changing the `post_id` parameter to target other users' content. The clone operation copies the full post content, all post metadata (including potentially sensitive widget configurations and API tokens), and taxonomies into a new draft owned by the attacker.

      "value": "El plugin Happy Addons for Elementor para WordPress es vulnerable a Referencia Directa Insegura a Objeto en todas las versiones hasta la 3.21.0, inclusive, a trav\u00e9s del gestor de acci\u00f3n de administraci\u00f3n \u0027ha_duplicate_thing\u0027. Esto se debe a que el m\u00e9todo \u0027can_clone()\u0027 solo verifica \u0027current_user_can(\u0027edit_posts\u0027)\u0027 (una capacidad general) sin realizar una autorizaci\u00f3n a nivel de objeto como \u0027current_user_can(\u0027edit_post\u0027, $post_id)\u0027, y a que el nonce est\u00e1 vinculado al nombre de acci\u00f3n gen\u00e9rico \u0027ha_duplicate_thing\u0027 en lugar de a un ID de publicaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfico. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Colaborador o superior, clonen cualquier publicaci\u00f3n, p\u00e1gina o tipo de publicaci\u00f3n personalizada publicada obteniendo un nonce de clonaci\u00f3n v\u00e1lido de sus propias publicaciones y cambiando el par\u00e1metro \u0027post_id\u0027 para apuntar al contenido de otros usuarios. La operaci\u00f3n de clonaci\u00f3n copia el contenido completo de la publicaci\u00f3n, todos los metadatos de la publicaci\u00f3n (incluidas configuraciones de widgets y tokens de API potencialmente sensibles) y taxonom\u00edas en un nuevo borrador propiedad del atacante."
