Description
The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the 'load_more' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.6. This is due to the client-supplied 'args' query arguments being passed to WP_Query with only the post status forced to 'publish', so the post type and meta query variables are not restricted. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to list published posts of non-public post types (for example WooCommerce coupon codes), infer the values of custom fields of published posts, including hidden ones, by sending meta query comparisons, and request unbounded page sizes.
