The plugin provides users with an assortment of pre-built WordPress blocks and templates for use when creating or updating their website.
"This plugin suffers from an unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability and allows any unauthenticated user to escalate their privilege to that of any user on the WordPress site," writes Patchstack in its report.
Basically, malicious actors can take advantage of this to reset the password of any user, including the administrator's account.
