The Elementor Addons, Widgets and Enhancements – Stax plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the toggle_widget function in versions up to, and including, 1.4.3.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
