Easy Elements for Elementor <= 1.4.4 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via easyel_handle_register

Published May 20, 2026 · Updated May 20, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Easy Elements for Elementor – Addons & Website Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via user registration in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4. This is due to the 'easyel_handle_register' function not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site.
