Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in choijun LA-Studio Element Kit for Elementor Plugin up to 1.6.1 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function get_type_template of the component File Inclusion Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a file inclusion vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-73. The product allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The LA-Studio Element Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.1 via the get_type_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. The wp_normalize_path function used in get_template only normalizes directory separators and does not resolve or reject path traversal sequences, while the extension check is trivially bypassed because the caller already appends the required extension to the traversal payload.
