Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Rometheme RTMKit rometheme-for-elementor allows Command Injection.This issue affects RTMKit: from n/a through <= 1.5.4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A code injection vulnerability in the Rometheme RTMKit plugin for Elementor allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code/commands on the server through improper control of code generation, potentially leading to full system compromise.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of Rometheme RTMKit if a patch is available; otherwise, remove the plugin from production environments until remediation is possible. Consider deploying a WAF rule to block injection attempts targeting the affected component.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Rometheme RTMKit plugin is installed
    Locate the plugin directory in your WordPress installation at wp-content/plugins/ and verify the rometheme-rtmkit folder exists, or check the Plugins page in WordPress admin
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file (typically rometheme-rtmkit.php) and locate the Version header in the plugin comment block, or view the version on the WordPress Plugins admin page
    Affected if The installed version falls within the affected range for CVE-2025-30911 (version range not specified; compare to the latest patched version when available)
  3. Verify the code generation feature is enabled
    Access the plugin settings panel in Elementor or WordPress admin and inspect whether any code generation, dynamic code builder, or RTM code injection module is active
    Affected if The vulnerable code generation feature is enabled and accessible to users
  4. Review plugin file integrity
    Examine the plugin directory for any unexpected or recently modified PHP files, particularly in subdirectories related to code generation or elementor widgets
    Affected if Unknown or suspicious PHP files are present that were not part of the original plugin distribution
  5. Check server access logs for injection attempts
    Search web server access logs (Apache/nginx) for requests targeting the plugin endpoint, looking for patterns involving eval, base64_decode, or shell command syntax in query parameters
    Affected if Logs show injection attempts targeting RTMKit plugin endpoints

You are affected if the Rometheme RTMKit plugin is installed and the vulnerable code generation feature is enabled in your environment.
