Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in rometheme RTMKit Plugin up to 2.0.7 on WordPress. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown code block of the file _templates.php of the component AJAX Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument template with an unknown input leads to a filename control vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-98. The PHP application receives input from an upstream component, but it does not restrict or incorrectly restricts the input before its usage in "require," "include," or similar functions. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The RTMKit (rometheme-for-elementor) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in versions up to, and including, 2.0.7 This is due to insufficient path validation on the 'template' parameter in the render_templates AJAX endpoint, which is used directly in a require/include statement without sanitization. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute files on the server ending in _templates.php, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files.
