Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-43996 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ElementsKit Pro. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-43996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43996/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-43996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hm9q-792g-5c86"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit a path traversal flaw in ElementsKit Pro to include arbitrary local files, potentially leading to data disclosure or code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"elementskit","vendor":"wpmet"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in ElementsKit ElementsKit Pro allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects ElementsKit Pro: from n/a through 3.6.0.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress ElementsKit Pro plugin \u003c= 3.6.0 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in EasyJobs","id":"CVE-2024-43997"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Posterity theme \u003c= 3.6 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43995"},"products":["ElementsKit Pro"],"published":"2024-09-23","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in ElementsKit Pro","id":"CVE-2024-3500","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-02"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"ElementsKit PRO \u003c= 3.6.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Server-Side Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2024-4404","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-14"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"ElementsKit Pro \u003c= 3.7.8 - Authenticated (Contributor+) DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via url Parameter","id":"CVE-2025-0321","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-28"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"ElementsKit Pro \u003c= 3.6.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-7064","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-15"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in ElementsKit Pro","id":"CVE-2024-5263","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-15"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"ElementsKit Pro \u003c= 3.6.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-4452","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["ElementsKit"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a path traversal flaw in ElementsKit Pro to include arbitrary local files, potentially leading to data disclosure or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43996/"}
