Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with at least low-level privileges (CVSS PR:L) on a WordPress site running CodexThemes TheGem Theme Elements (for Elementor) at version 5.11.1 or earlier, with the vulnerable include/require code path reachable - the attacker must supply a crafted filename/path value to the plugin parameter that feeds a PHP include() statement (CWE-98). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are mixed and warrant a measured priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding or self-registering a low-privileged authenticated account on a WordPress site running TheGem Theme Elements (for Elementor) <= 5.11.1 sends a crafted request to a plugin endpoint, supplying a manipulated filename/path parameter that the plugin passes into a PHP include statement. Because the input is not properly constrained, the server includes a local file of the attacker's choosing, disclosing sensitive contents (e.g., configuration or credential material) and, where a controllable local PHP file can be included, executing code in the site's context. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data, so update to the latest available release of TheGem Theme Elements (for Elementor) once CodexThemes publishes a version above 5.11.1, and monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/thegem-elements-elementor/vulnerability/wordpress-thegem-theme-elements-for-elementor-plugin-5-11-1-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) for the fixed build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
