## Description

The Events Widgets For Elementor And The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the Events widget's list layouts in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.5, due to the ectbe_get_the_events_calendar_events() function not checking whether an event is password-protected before including it, and the widget then printing the event's excerpt or content as its description. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the content of password-protected events by viewing any page that displays the widget.
