Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor and higher privileges to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from wpvibes regarding a security patch. Avoid granting unnecessary permissions to users and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin if possible.

Description

The Elementor Addon Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.12.12 via the render function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or higher, to include the contents of arbitrary PHP files on the server, which may expose sensitive information.
