CVE-2026-8118

The Royal Addons for Elementor - Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary

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.

▸ How to read a CVE - triage first, then detect and patch
This page is every public fact about CVE-2026-8118, cross-linked. Its job is to answer one question fast - does this need my attention now? - and then hand you the two things you do about it. Here is how an analyst reads it.
Triage: should I act now? Four signals, and they are not interchangeable:
CVSSseverity - how bad it is IF exploited, 0-10. A high CVSS alone is not urgency; a flaw can be a perfect 10 and never actually be attacked. EPSSprobability - a model’s estimate of the chance it is exploited in the next 30 days, 0-1. This is the “will it actually happen” signal. CISA KEVconfirmed - it is being exploited in the wild right now. The strongest signal on the page; KEV beats any score. Weaponisedavailability - public exploits / PoCs, and especially Metasploit modules rated Excellent / Great. Reliable, packaged exploit code means low-skill attackers can use it today.
How they combine: KEV, or a dependable Metasploit module, means patch now regardless of CVSS. High CVSS + low EPSS + no exploit is real but not an emergency - schedule it. Low CVSS but KEV-listed still gets patched now. The verdict above already weighed these for you; this is how it got there.
Then what - two workflows:
Detectwhen you cannot patch today, follow this CVE to the ATT&CK techniques it enables, then Build a SIEM detection (the green button) - author a rule, test it in Atomic, deploy it. That buys visibility while the patch waits. PatchAffected products / packages tell you if you are exposed; Fixed versions by distribution and Vendor advisories give the exact version that closes it.
Reading order for the panels below: verdict + badges, then Public exploits / Metasploit (is it weaponised), then ATT&CK techniques + Sigma / IDS rules (can I detect it), then Affected products / packages + Fixed versions (am I exposed, what patches it), then Threat actors / IOCs (who uses it), then Scoring & timeline / references (the evidence).
