CVE-2024-12811Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via shortcode file inclusion

Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local file inclusion in ShineTheme Traveler 3.1.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute uploaded PHP code via shortcodes. The hotel_alone_slider shortcode's style attribute was originally identified as selecting a PHP file without adequate filename control; the updated CNA record broadens the affected locus to shortcodes. Contributor-level access is required, and code execution additionally requires an includable PHP file on the server.
