CVE-2021-4447: Wpdeveloper Essential Addons For Elementor

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Wpdeveloper Essential Addons For Elementor: before 4.6.5 (fixed in 4.6.5)
