Royal Elementor Addons <=1.3.55 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Post Deletion

Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2022-4102
CVSS High (8.1)
Publicly Published December 15, 2022

Researcher Krzysztof Zając
Description

The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check during template deletion in the function wpr_create_template in versions up to, and including, 1.3.55. Furthermore, the plugin does not verify whether the deleted post is a template. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to delete arbitrary posts and pages.
