## Description

The PowerPack Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the Posts widget's 'Custom Meta Key' post date option in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.4, due to the plugin passing any meta key set in the widget to get_post_meta() without checking whether the key is protected, and printing the value on the page when it is not a valid date. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read protected post meta values, such as keys starting with an underscore, from the posts the widget lists.
