CVE-2026-110808 Details
Description
The Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 6.8.8 does not correctly restrict who may set the role assigned to accounts created through its registration form, allowing authenticated users with Author-level access and above to cause newly registered accounts, including those created by unauthenticated visitors through the public registration form, to be granted a higher role such as Editor. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2026-5193: the role-validation control added in 6.6.0 can be circumvented by a lower-privileged user, so versions 6.6.0 through 6.8.7 remain affected even on sites that are patched against that advisory.
A vulnerability in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 6.8.8, allows authenticated users with Author-level access and above to manipulate the roles of accounts created through the plugin's registration form. This includes accounts registered by unauthenticated users via the public registration form, which could be assigned higher roles such as Editor. This issue arises because the plugin fails to properly validate role assignments, leaving versions 6.6.0 through 6.8.7 vulnerable, even on sites that have applied the partial fix for a related vulnerability (CVE-2026-5193)
Users are advised to update the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin to version 6.8.8 or later.
