Description
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.
