Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-08-12 06:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:06
Severity
4.9 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
The Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 3.30.2 via the Import_Images::import() function due to insufficient controls on the filename specified. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
