Technical details
The LA-Studio Element Kit for Elementor plugin fails to validate the WordPress 'users_can_register' setting within its AJAX registration handler. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request to the 'lakit_ajax' action with registration data. The attack requires a valid 'lakit_ajax' nonce, which can be retrieved from any public page where the plugin's login or registration widget is active. Successful exploitation results in the creation of a new user account with default site privileges. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.1.
