CVE-2024-12066Network attack vector

Arbitrary file deletion via unvalidated label path

Published Dec 21, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Arbitrary file deletion in SMSA Shipping 2.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete server files through a crafted label path. The smsa_delete_label() function deletes a caller-selected path without validating that it identifies an intended label file. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and deletion of a critical file such as wp-config.php can lead to remote code execution.
