Summary

The Essential Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized use of functionality due to a missing capability check on the templates function in versions up to and including 4.0.6. This allows subscriber-level attackers to obtain plugin template information; the nonce check is skipped when no nonce is provided.

Risk Assessment

Low-privileged users may access plugin template information, potentially facilitating further attacks or disclosing internal data. The risk affects WordPress sites with Essential Blocks versions up to 4.0.6.

Recommendation

Update the Essential Blocks plugin to a version later than 4.0.6. Verify that capability checks are properly enforced.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Essential Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized use of functionality due to a missing capability check on the templates function in versions up to, and including, 4.0.6. This makes it possible for subscriber-level attackers to obtain plugin template information. While a nonce check is present, it is only executed when a nonce is provided. Not providing a nonce results in the nonce verification to be skipped. There is no capability check.
