Royal Elementor Addons <= 1.3.59 - Insufficient Access Control to Plugin Deactivation

Published Jan 10, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 5.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to insufficient access control in the 'wpr_fix_royal_compatibility' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.3.59. This allows any authenticated user, including those with subscriber-level permissions, to deactivate every plugin on the site unless it is part of an extremely limited hardcoded selection. This also switches the site to the 'royal-elementor-kit' theme, potentially resulting in availability issues.
