High CVSS 8.1
CVE-2026-18039
NVD analysis in progress
The Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 6.7.2 does not prevent user-supplied registration fields from overwriting reserved account attributes, allowing unauthenticated attackers to register an account with an arbitrary role, including administrator, on sites where a custom profile field with a particular label has been configured.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Privilege handling is faulty, so an account ends up with more rights than intended.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
