Subscriber-level template creation via missing capability check
Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in Envo's Templates & Widgets 1.4.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to create Elementor templates. The templates_ajax_request AJAX handler accepts a subscriber's import request and creates the requested template without checking an administrative capability. Any subscriber-level account can therefore add attacker-selected template content to the WordPress site, but the published impact is limited to unauthorized template creation.
