## Overview

The WDesignKit – Elementor & Gutenberg Starter Templates, Patterns, Cloud Workspace & Widget Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to missing authorization via the wdkit_handle_review_submission function in versions less than, or equal to, 1.2.16. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to submit feedback data to external services.
