WordPress · Elementor Addons Ai Addons · CVE-2024-12140
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Elementor Addons AI Addons – 70 Widgets, Premium Templates, Ultimate Elements plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.2.1
**Description**
The issue concerns insufficient restrictions on which templates can be included through the render function, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to extract data from private or draft templates they should not have access to.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 2.2.1, consider updating to a version newer than 2.2.1 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the render function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Restrict access to private or draft templates to prevent unauthorized data extraction until a patch is available.
