CVE-2026-8118
Last modified
CVE-2026-8118 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in versions 1.7.1058 through 1.7.1059. This is due to the wpr_get_csv_handle() helper (introduced in version 1.7.1058 as part of the patch for CVE-2026-6229) falling back to is_readable() and fopen($source, 'r') on the attacker-controlled settings.table_upload_csv.url value when it does not parse as an HTTP URL, with no allow-list, traversal block, or extension check. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
The Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in versions 1.7.1058 through 1.7.1059. This is due to the wpr_get_csv_handle() helper (introduced in version 1.7.1058 as part of the patch for CVE-2026-6229) falling back to is_readable() and fopen($source, 'r') on the attacker-controlled settings.table_upload_csv.url value when it does not parse as an HTTP URL, with no allow-list, traversal block, or extension check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to save a crafted wpr-data-table widget through Elementor's save_builder endpoint and have the rendered preview return the line-by-line contents of any file readable by the PHP process, including wp-config.php.
