## What is CVE-2024-2385?

CVE-2024-2385 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Livemesh Addons by Elementor, published on 4 Jul 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Elementor Addons by Livemesh plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 8.4 via several of the plugin's widgets through the 'style' attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary 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 images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included. CVE-2024-37547 is likely a duplicate of this issue.

Weakness: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory)
