Vulnerability Overview
The Xpro Elementor Addons - Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Reading in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.7 via the Draw SVG widget. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.

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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.
CWE-73: External Control of File Name or Path
The product allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations.
Remediation
Update to version 1.4.8, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
An attacker needs Contributor access first, so the firewall sees the attempt as traffic from a logged-in account: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. Classes like this one can leave something behind, so the staged malware scanner is the second half: it looks for dropped files and modified code rather than for the request that created them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Xpro Elementor Addons - Pro 1.4.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
