# CVE-2024-8979

> 8.0 HIGH

## Beschreibung

The Essential Addons for Elementor – Best Elementor Addon, Templates, Widgets, Kits & WooCommerce Builders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.9 via the 'init_content_lostpassword_user_email_controls' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to extract sensitive data including usernames and passwords of any user, including Administrators, as long as that user opens the email notification for a password change request and images are not blocked by the email client.
