Patchstack disclosed a cross-site request forgery flaw in the Elementor Website Builder plugin, affecting versions 4.3.0 and 4.3.1, used on up to 2 million WordPress sites. The bug let attackers trick a logged-in administrator into clicking a malicious link that silently created a new admin account under attacker control.

Researcher Paulos Yibelo of pwn.ai disclosed a WordPress Core vulnerability, called Click2Shell, that chains a cross-site request forgery bug with the theme Customizer preview to achieve remote PHP execution. The flaw lets an attacker trick a logged-in administrator into visiting a malicious link, silently installing a theme from the WordPress.org catalog and running arbitrary PHP through the Customizer preview even before activation. WordPress fixed the issue in version 7.1.1 after it was reported in late August.
