Descriptions

The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized execution of several AJAX actions due to a missing capability check in the ~/core/app/modules/onboarding/module.php file that make it possible for attackers to modify site data in addition to uploading malicious files that can be used to obtain remote code execution, in versions 3.6.0 to 3.6.2.

El plugin Elementor Website Builder para WordPress es vulnerable a una ejecución no autorizada de varias acciones AJAX debido a una falta de una comprobación de capacidad en el archivo ~/core/app/modules/onboarding/module.php que hace posible que atacantes modifiquen los datos del sitio además de cargar archivos maliciosos que pueden usarse para obtener una ejecución de código remota, en las versiones 3.6.0 a 3.6.2

WordPress Elementor plugin versions 3.6.0 through 3.6.2 suffer from a remote shell upload vulnerability. This is achieved by sending a request to install Elementor Pro from a user supplied zip file. Any user with Subscriber or more permissions is able to execute this.
