 "title": "Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates & Widgets <= 6.8.6 - Unauthenticated Administrator Approval Bypass via Email OTP Registration",
 "description": "The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an Administrator Approval bypass via the Login | Register widget's Email OTP registration flow in all versions from 6.7.3 up to, and including, 6.8.6. This is due to the OTP registration paths (the pre-created \"Show Flag on User list\" account and the account created on code verification) never setting the 'eael_registration_status' pending flag that the approval login check relies on, and the post-verification auto-login running regardless of the approval setting. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to self-register an active account that can log in without the administrator approval the site requires. Exploitation requires user registration to be open, Administrator Approval to be enabled, and a Login | Register form with Email OTP registration enabled.",
