Unauthenticated code execution via unsafe template inclusion
Published May 22, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Local file inclusion in WPZOOM Addons for Elementor 1.1.37 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute server-side PHP code. The AJAX Posts Grid handler passes the attacker-controlled grid_style value into a PHP file include without restricting the resolved path. An unauthenticated network request reaches the handler; code execution requires an existing or uploadable local file containing executable PHP.
