📄 Description (English)

The Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates & Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 6.5.13. This is due to insufficient role validation in the 'register_user' function, which only blocks the 'administrator' role. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author level access and above, to create new user accounts with elevated privileges such as editor.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

The Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin versions up to 6.5.13 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing authenticated authors to create accounts with elevated privileges. Attackers can bypass role restrictions by exploiting insufficient validation in the user registration function.

📄 Description (Arabic)
