CVE-2021-24359
Last modified
CVE-2021-24359 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The Plus Addons for Elementor Page Builder WordPress plugin before 4.1.11 did not properly check that a user requesting a password reset was the legitimate user, allowing an attacker to send an arbitrary reset password email to a registered user on behalf of the WordPress site. Such issue could be chained with an open redirect (CVE-2021-24358) in version below 4.1.10, to include a crafted password reset link in the email, which would lead to an account takeover.. EPSS estimates a 1.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
