Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the Fusion Builder plugin for WordPress up to version 3.15.4. The flaw allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level roles to delete arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file paths. This is achieved through insufficient validation of user-supplied input in file-handling components. Successful exploitation can lead to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by deleting core WordPress or plugin files. The issue is resolved in version 3.15.5.
