MEDIUM EXPLOITED

Royal Elementor Addons <1.3.59 - Privilege Escalation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

CVE-2022-4702 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV).

Description

The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to insufficient access control in the 'wpr_fix_royal_compatibility' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.3.59. This allows any authenticated user, including those with subscriber-level permissions, to deactivate every plugin on the site unless it is part of an extremely limited hardcoded selection. This also switches the site to the 'royal-elementor-kit' theme, potentially resulting in availability issues.
