Descriptions

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Elementor Elementor Website Builder allows Manipulating Web Input to File System Calls.This issue affects Elementor Website Builder: from n/a through 3.19.0.

La limitación incorrecta de un nombre de ruta a una vulnerabilidad de directorio restringido ("Path Traversal") en Elementor Elementor Website Builder permite manipular la entrada web en llamadas al sistema de archivos. Este problema afecta a Elementor Website Builder: desde n/a hasta 3.19.0.

The Elementor Website Builder – More than Just a Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletions and PHAR deserialization in version up to, and including 3.19.0. This is due to the plugin not providing sufficient path validation on the 'tmp_name' parameter . This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files and inject PHP Objects through the use of a phar wrapper, both of which can lead to remote code execution.
