Description
The Premium Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data via the live editor's 'handle_live_editor' AJAX action in versions 4.8.10 up to, and including, 4.11.115, due to a missing capability check. The handler checked only a nonce that is printed in the Elementor editor. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to create published, empty Elementor templates (elementor_library posts) that their role could not normally publish, and to get the ID and edit URL of existing live editor templates.
