CVE-2026-103907 Details
Description
The JNews - Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on both the 'jkit_post_block' and 'jeg_find_author' AJAX actions in versions up to, and including, 3.2.19. The 'wp_ajax_jkit_post_block' handler (registered generically for every element via wp_ajax_{$element_id} in Elements_Option_Abstract::setup_hook) returns the element's full option schema — including a freshly minted wp_create_nonce('jeg_find_author') — to any authenticated caller, and the 'wp_ajax_jeg_find_author' handler then runs a WP_User_Query with the attacker-supplied 'query' wrapped in '*…*' against search_columns that include user_email, echoing the ID and display_name of every matching user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enumerate every registered user of the site and to reconstruct arbitrary users' email addresses one character at a time by using the substring search as an oracle.
A vulnerability exists in the JNews - Jeg Elementor Kit plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions through 3.2.19. The issue arises from a missing capability check on the 'jkit_post_block' and 'jeg_find_author' AJAX actions, allowing unauthorized data access. The 'wp_ajax_jkit_post_block' handler sends the complete option schema of an element, including a nonce for the 'jeg_find_author' action, to any authenticated user. The 'wp_ajax_jeg_find_author' handler then uses the supplied 'query' to perform a user email search, returning the ID and display name of matching users. This vulnerability enables authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to enumerate all registered users and extract email addresses character by character using the substring search.
Users are advised to update the JNews - Jeg Elementor Kit plugin to version 3.2.20 or a newer patched version.
