DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Local File Inclusion in the RTMKit (rometheme-for-elementor) plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.0.7 allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access to include and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. The render_templates AJAX endpoint passes the unsanitized 'template' parameter directly into a PHP require/include statement, restricted only to files ending in _templates.php. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain WordPress Contributor account
Delivery

Impact

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a WordPress user account with at minimum Contributor-level access - this is the explicit prerequisite stated in the description and corroborated by the CVSS PR:L metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The official CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) rates only confidentiality impact, which understates the vulnerability's true ceiling. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a valid WordPress Contributor account crafts a POST request to the site's AJAX handler (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) targeting the render_templates action, supplying a manipulated 'template' parameter using path traversal sequences to point to a PHP file ending in _templates.php that contains attacker-controlled code - such as one previously uploaded via a media or theme upload primitive. The server-side include executes the PHP payload within the web server's process context, enabling command execution or data exfiltration. …
Remediation Upgrade the RTMKit plugin to version 2.0.8, which is the patched release inferred from the WordPress SVN changeset comparing the 2.0.7 and 2.0.8 tags (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Frometheme-for-elementor/tags/2.0.7&new_path=%2Frometheme-for-elementor/tags/2.0.8). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
