Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file paths, though exploitation requires a privileged user to interact with a malicious link or crafted page (User Interaction: Required). Successful exploitation can result in the deletion of critical system or application files, leading to a denial of service or security bypass. The issue is fixed in version 2.10.1.
