Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Essential Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.0.9
Description: The issue allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to extract sensitive data, including usernames and passwords of any user, by exploiting the init content lostpassword user email controls function. This is possible when a user opens the email notification for a password change request and images are not blocked by the email client.
Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 6.0.9, upgrade to a patched version immediately to mitigate the risk. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the init content lostpassword user email controls function until a patch is available. Additionally, users should be cautious when opening email notifications for password change requests, especially if images are not blocked by the email client.
