Technical details

The RTMKit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) due to insufficient path validation on the 'template' parameter within the render_templates AJAX endpoint. This parameter is passed directly into a PHP require/include statement without proper sanitization. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level permissions or higher can exploit this to include and execute any file on the server that ends with the '_templates.php' suffix. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-98. A fix is available in version 2.0.8.
