CVE-2026-1620Network attack vector

Contributor-level file execution via recursive template traversal

Published Apr 16, 2026 · Updated Apr 16, 2026

Local file inclusion in Livemesh Addons by Elementor 9.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute local server files. The lae_get_template_part() function strips traversal text with a single str_replace() pass, so recursive traversal patterns survive and control the widget template include path. Contributor-level access is required, and exploitation also depends on Elementor being installed or an administrator performing the necessary action.
