Until an official fix or update is released, it is recommended to disable or restrict user registration on the affected plugin or site. Monitor for any updates from the vendor or plugin maintainers and apply official patches promptly once available.
Description
The Easy Elements for Elementor – Addons & Website Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via user registration in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4. This is due to the 'easyel_handle_register' function not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site.
