Vulnerability Overview

The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check during template creation in the function wpr_create_template in versions up to, and including, 1.3.55. Furthermore, the plugin does not verify whether the created post is a template. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to create arbitrary posts and pages.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3.56, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
