CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated account takeover due to insufficient server-side validation of email header inputs, allowing attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject malicious headers. This vulnerability enables them to intercept password-reset emails, potentially leading to full administrator account compromise. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access.
Original NVD Description
The Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates & Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authenticated Account Takeover via Email Header Injection in all versions up to, and including, 6.6.10 This is due to insufficient server-side validation of a Login/Register widget setting used to construct outgoing email headers — the allowed-values restriction is enforced only in the client-side editor UI and not on the server, and the applied sanitization does not strip or encode CR/LF characters, allowing CRLF sequences stored in that setting to survive into raw mail headers. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject an additional Bcc header into the WordPress administrator's password-reset notification email, receive a copy of a valid administrator password-reset link, and achieve full administrator account takeover.
