Description
The RTMKit Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 via the 'path' parameter of the 'get_content' AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where PHP files can be uploaded and included.

AI Analysis

Impact

The RTMKit Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress contains a Local File Inclusion flaw (CWE-98) in the 'get_content' AJAX action, triggered via the 'path' parameter. An authenticated user with author-level or higher rights can specify any file path, causing the server to include and execute the target PHP file. This leads to full code execution on the server, permitting an attacker to bypass access controls, read sensitive data, or exfiltrate information when PHP files can be uploaded or otherwise accessed through the vulnerable path.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in all versions of RTMKit Addons for Elementor up to and including 2.0.2. It affects WordPress sites that have the plugin installed and are running within a standard WordPress environment.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score is not available, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires authentication as an author or higher; once logged in, the attacker can craft a request to the vulnerable AJAX endpoint to include a malicious file. No publicly known exploits have been reported, but the absence of mitigation means a successful exploit would lead to code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update RTMKit Addons for Elementor to the latest available version; verify that an official fix has been released by checking the plugin vendor’s release notes.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, limit author‑level access on the site and configure the plugin’s permissions to restrict access to the 'get_content' AJAX action, or disable that action entirely if feasible.
  • Monitor the WordPress logs for suspicious requests to '/admin-ajax.php?action=get_content' using the 'path' parameter and block IP addresses that attempt repeated or anomalous access attempts.
