Vulnerability Overview

The Responsive Addons for Elementor – Free Elementor Addons Plugin and Elementor Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.8 the 'register_user' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive data including usernames and passwords of any users who register via the Edit Login | Registration Form widget, as long as that user opens the email notification for successful registration.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Responsive Addons for Elementor <= 1.6.8 carries this weakness at register_user, and reaching it takes an account at Contributor level or above. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Responsive Addons for Elementor the fix is 1.6.9: builds <= 1.6.8 are affected, anything from 1.6.9 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.6.9, or a newer patched version
