Authenticated PHP inclusion via render path traversal
Published Mar 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Path traversal in Addon Elements for Elementor 1.12.12 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to include arbitrary PHP files. The Shape Separator widget's render function accepts a contributor-controlled file path without restricting resolution to an approved directory. Contributor access is required, and successful exploitation reads sensitive information through an arbitrary server-side PHP file.
