CVE-2021-4447 (GCVE-0-2021-4447)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-10-16 06:43 – Updated: 2024-10-16 19:36

Title

Essential Addons for Elementor <= 4.6.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Privilege Escalation

Summary

The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to and including 4.6.4 due to a lack of restrictions on who can add a registration form and a custom registration role to an Elementor created page. This makes it possible for attackers with access to the Elementor page builder to create a new registration form that defaults to the user role being set to administrator and subsequently register as an administrative user.

Severity ?

8.8 (High)
