Summary

The LA-Studio Element Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) in all versions up to and including 1.6.1 via the get_type_template function. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes bypassing access controls, obtaining sensitive data, and executing PHP code, potentially leading to full compromise of the WordPress site.

Recommendation

Immediately update the LA-Studio Element Kit plugin to version 1.6.2 or later if available, and restrict user permissions to the minimum necessary.

Other vulnerabilities in LA-Studio Element Kit

CVE-2026-12276Medium
The LA-Studio Element Kit for Elementor WordPress plugin before version 1.6.1 does not check whether user registration is enabled on the site before creating an account through one of its unauthenticated AJAX actions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to register new accounts even when registration has been disabled site-wide.

Original NVD description (English source)

The LA-Studio Element Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.1 via the get_type_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. The wp_normalize_path function used in get_template only normalizes directory separators and does not resolve or reject path traversal sequences, while the extension check is trivially bypassed because the caller already appends the required extension to the traversal payload.
