01Description
The RTMKit Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on the save_widget() and reset_all_widgets() functions in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to modify or reset site-wide widget configurations.
