Technical details
A broken access control vulnerability exists in the Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress due to missing authorization checks (CWE-862). The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute functions or actions that should be restricted to higher-privileged users. The vulnerability is reachable over the network without user interaction. While the CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate risk, the lack of authentication makes it a candidate for automated scanning. The issue is resolved in version 6.6.0.
