Assigner: Wordfence

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.

Executive Summary

The Easy Elements for Elementor – Addons & Website Templates plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows privilege escalation through user registration. Specifically, the function 'easyel_handle_register' does not restrict the user roles that can be assigned during registration. This means an unauthenticated attacker can register with the 'administrator' role and gain full administrator access to the WordPress site.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have a severe impact because it allows an attacker to gain administrator-level access without authentication. With administrator privileges, the attacker can control the entire WordPress site, including modifying content, installing malicious plugins, stealing sensitive data, or disrupting site operations.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to register as administrators on a WordPress site, potentially leading to full site compromise.

Such unauthorized administrative access can result in unauthorized access to sensitive personal data, violating data protection requirements under regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.

Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with these standards due to failure to protect data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
