CVE-2024-13353: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') in cyberchimps Responsive Addons for Elementor – Free Elementor Addons, Kits and Elementor Templates
The Responsive Addons for Elementor – Free Elementor Addons Plugin and Elementor Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.4 via several widgets. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.

Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13353 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CWE-98) in the Responsive Addons for Elementor – Free Elementor Addons, Kits and Elementor Templates WordPress plugin. It affects all versions up to and including 1.6.4. The flaw allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or higher to include arbitrary files on the server via several widgets, leading to remote code execution by executing PHP code within those files. This vulnerability can be exploited to bypass access controls and access sensitive information.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows attackers with Contributor-level access or above to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, which can lead to full compromise of the affected WordPress site. This includes bypassing access controls, unauthorized data access, and remote code execution. The CVSS score of 8.8 (high severity) reflects the critical nature of this vulnerability given its network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor (cyberchimps) and apply patches promptly once available. Avoid uploading or including files that could be exploited for code execution.
