Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to template parameter usage. Avoid installing untrusted plugins or updates from unofficial sources. Consider disabling or limiting the use of the vulnerable plugin if possible.
Description
The Livemesh Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 9.0. This is due to insufficient sanitization of the template name parameter in the `lae_get_template_part()` function, which uses an inadequate `str_replace()` approach that can be bypassed using recursive directory traversal patterns. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the attacker to include and execute local files via the widget's template parameter granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action or install Elementor.
