Technical details
Easy Digital Downloads (<= 3.6.9) is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE-22, Path Traversal). The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with Administrator-level privileges to delete arbitrary files on the server via network requests. While the impact is limited to availability (denial of service by deleting core files), the root cause is a lack of validation on file paths handled by the plugin. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been confirmed, though users are advised to monitor for updates.
