## What is CVE-2026-8118?

CVE-2026-8118 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in wproyal Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor, published on 19 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in versions 1.7.1058 through 1.7.1059. This is due to the wpr_get_csv_handle() helper (introduced in version 1.7.1058 as part of the patch for CVE-2026-6229) falling back to is_readable() and fopen($source, 'r') on the attacker-controlled settings.table_upload_csv.url value when it does not parse as an HTTP URL, with no allow-list, traversal block, or extension check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to save a crafted wpr-data-table widget through Elementor's save_builder endpoint and have the rendered preview return the line-by-line contents of any file readable by the PHP process, including wp-config.php.

Weakness: CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path)
