Summary
The ElementsReady Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin through 6.7.2 has a missing authorization check (CWE-284) in several settings-save handlers. Those handlers do not halt execution when authorization fails, so a user with subscriber-level access or higher can overwrite the plugin's stored settings, including its stored API credentials and its feature and template configuration.
