What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Sky Addons for Elementor (Free Templates Library, Live Copy, Animations, Post Grid, Post Carousel, Particles, Sliders, Chart, Blogs) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to a denial of service due to a missing capability check on the save_options() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2.
