CVE-2024-33568Network attack vector

Authenticated file read via pathname traversal

Published Jun 4, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Path traversal and unsafe deserialization in BdThemes Element Pack Pro before 7.19.3 allow remote authenticated users to read server files. A user-controlled pathname escapes its intended directory, and a PHAR pathname triggers PHP object deserialization; the responsible function and request parameter are undisclosed. Low-privileged WordPress access is required; exposed files can disclose secrets, while gadget-dependent object injection can alter or interrupt the site.
