What it is

🚨 An unauthenticated user can upload any file they fancy! This issue in the Royal Elementor Addons and Templates WordPress plugin before version 1.3.79 is a recipe for disaster. 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant that allows anyone to drop off food without checking ingredients — you never know if it's a gourmet dish or something that'll make everyone sick! This vulnerability could lead to absolute chaos on your website, as an attacker may upload malicious PHP files, gaining full control over the server. If this happens, they could steal sensitive data, deface your site, or even use it for further attacks. That's a hefty price to pay for a little oversight!
