The vulnerability exists on websites with both Elementor Pro and WooCommerce installed: any registered user may create new accounts with administrator privileges last week.
The issue lies in the Elementor Pro and WooCommerce interaction module, which has been developed to modify some of the online store's parameters, but this does not allow for an attacker to encrypt all traffic from an infected site with inadequate administrator privileges. For example, attacks on older versions of the plugin may be carried out from IP addresses 193.169.194.63, 193.169.195.64, and 194.135.30.6.
