Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized post metadata update due to a missing capability check on the wpr_update_form_action_meta function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.87. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update certain metadata.
