Vulnerability Overview

The Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in all versions up to 1.7.1066. This is due to a missing capability check on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform an unauthorized action.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Reaching this weakness in Royal Addons for Elementor < 1.7.1066 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Royal Addons for Elementor the fix is 1.7.1066: builds < 1.7.1066 are affected, anything from 1.7.1066 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.7.1066, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Royal Addons for Elementor 1.7.1066 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
