Description
The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to External Entity Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.980. This is due to improper restriction and sanitization on external entities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject external entities and perform other attacks like SSRF and remote code execution in the proper configuration.
