Description
The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to missing authorization in versions up to, and including, 1.7.12. This is due to many AJAX actions being accessible to all logged-in users due to a lack of capability checks on the associated functions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to gain otherwise restricted access to backend functions and perform actions like editing posts and importing/exporting content.
