Royal Elementor Addons <= 1.3.59 - Insufficient Access Control to Plugin Deactivation

5.4
Improper Access Control
CVE CVE-2022-4702
CVSS 5.4 (Medium)
Publicly Published January 10, 2023
Last Updated February 3, 2023
Researcher Ramuel Gall - Wordfence

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.
