CVE-2026-110508 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-28

Essential Addons for Elementor is a WordPress plugin that extends Elementor's page builder functionality with additional features. When both user registration and email one-time-password (OTP) authentication are enabled, the plugin fails to enforce administrator approval of new user accounts registered via OTP, allowing attackers to create and access accounts without authorization. This could enable account takeover or unauthorized access to websites.
