Technical details

The Bit Form plugin for WordPress (versions up to 3.1.1) is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion (CWE-22) due to insufficient path validation in the 'deleteFiles' function. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions or higher can exploit this via network requests to delete arbitrary files on the server. Deleting critical files such as 'wp-config.php' can lead to a site reset or remote code execution. The issue is addressed in version 3.1.2.
