FKIE_CVE-2026-5137

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-03 10:16 - Updated: 2026-07-06 18:02
Severity
4.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Summary
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.
