Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Rafie Muhammad.
The Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to the creation of emergent resources due to insufficient input validation in the template "save_item" function in versions up to, and including, 3.13.3. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions or above, to create templates with an arbitrary post type, potentially allowing the exploitation of other plugins that depend on custom post types.
