Missing authorization in Master Addons for Elementor 2.0.6.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to modify templates through its REST API. The ma-template route accepts template creation, updates, and related settings changes without checking the caller's WordPress capabilities. No account is required, and successful requests can create or overwrite site templates and alter their associated settings.
