What the vulnerability does
The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to insufficient access control in the 'wpr_activate_required_theme' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.3.59. This allows any authenticated user, including those with subscriber-level permissions, to activate the 'royal-elementor-kit' theme. If no such theme is installed doing so can also impact site availability as the site attempts to load a nonexistent theme.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Royal Addons for Elementor versions up to 1.3.59 contain an access control flaw that allows authenticated users to modify site content or availability. An attacker with a low-privilege account can bypass intended restrictions to alter data or disrupt service. Update to a version newer than 1.3.59 to resolve this issue.
What an attacker can do
Modify site content or cause service disruption with a low-privilege user account.
Potential impact on your site
Unauthorized users can alter site content or cause downtime without admin-level access.
Conditions required to exploit
