Description

The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Password Resets to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.7.1. This is due to a lack of validation of a password reset key in the reset_password function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any user on a vulnerable site, including an administrator, if they have the email or username of the targeted account.
