CVE-2024-2385: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in livemesh Livemesh Addons by Elementor
The Elementor Addons by Livemesh plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 8.4 via several of the plugin's widgets through the 'style' attribute. 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. CVE-2024-37547 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-2385 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the Livemesh Addons by Elementor WordPress plugin allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to perform Local File Inclusion via the 'style' attribute in multiple widgets. This enables attackers to include arbitrary files on the server, resulting in the execution of arbitrary PHP code. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 8.4. It can be leveraged to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution even when only 'safe' file types like images are uploaded. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with contributor-level access or above to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, bypass access controls, and access sensitive information. This can lead to full compromise of the affected WordPress site and potentially the underlying server environment. The vulnerability significantly elevates the risk posed by lower-privileged authenticated users.
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 plugin updates from Livemesh for a security patch addressing this vulnerability. Consider disabling or removing the Livemesh Addons by Elementor plugin if it is not essential.
