Contributor-level escalation to site administrator
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Privilege escalation in Brainstorm Force Ultimate Addons for Elementor 1.36.31 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to become administrators. Public advisories do not identify the affected handler or the privilege check that fails; they establish only that Contributor-level users can register an administrator account. Exploitation requires an existing Contributor or higher account and grants control of the WordPress site through a newly registered administrator.
