Descriptions

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Elementor Elementor Website Builder.This issue affects Elementor Website Builder: from n/a through 3.13.2.

Vulnerabilidad de autorización faltante en Elementor Elementor Website Builder. Este problema afecta a Elementor Website Builder: desde n/a hasta 3.13.2.

The Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to the creation of emergent resources due to insufficient input validation in the template "save_item" function in versions up to, and including, 3.13.3. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions or above, to create templates with an arbitrary post type, potentially allowing the exploitation of other plugins that depend on custom post types.
