Overview

Technical description

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.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
