CVE-2025-11704Network attack vector

Authenticated PHP execution via shortcode file inclusion

Published Nov 4, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Local file inclusion in Impact Techlab Elegance Menu 1.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP via a shortcode attribute. The shortcode handler passes the attacker-controlled elegance-menu attribute to a PHP include operation without restricting the selected local path. Contributor-level access is required; code execution additionally requires an includable PHP file, while inclusion can expose server data or bypass access controls.
