Last modified
CVE-2021-4447 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
