Vulnerability Overview
The Elementor Addons AI Addons – 70 Widgets, Premium Templates, Ultimate Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1 via the render function due to insufficient restrictions on which templates can be included.

Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in Elementor Addons AI Addons <= 2.2.1 takes an account at Contributor level or above. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for Elementor Addons AI Addons yet, so installs running <= 2.2.1 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.
