Description

The RTMKit Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 via the 'path' parameter of the 'get_content' AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-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 files can be uploaded and included.
