CVE-2024-47637Network attack vector

Authenticated filesystem traversal via undisclosed path handling

Published Oct 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Relative path traversal in LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress 6.4.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to traverse filesystem paths. Public records do not identify the vulnerable function or parameter, the path normalization error, or which filesystem operation consumes the crafted relative path. Exploitation requires an Author-level WordPress account; available disclosures do not identify which files can be read, written, or deleted.
