Until an official fix is released, it is recommended to restrict access to the registration functionality or disable the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
The LA-Studio Element Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Administrative User Creation in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.6.3. This is due to the 'ajax_register_handle' function not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'lakit_bkrole' parameter during registration and gain administrator access to the site.
