Technical details
The WPBot Pro plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 13.6.5) contains an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability. The flaw is rooted in improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE-22), commonly known as path traversal. An attacker with Subscriber-level authentication can exploit this by sending crafted requests to delete files outside of the intended directory. Successful exploitation can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by deleting critical WordPress core files or configuration files. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released, though third-party mitigation rules are available.
