Unauthenticated file deletion via path traversal
Published Nov 20, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Path traversal in GutenGeek Opal Woo Custom Product Variation 1.1.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary server files. The plugin's upload-file deletion path accepts an attacker-controlled pathname and performs deletion without confining it to the intended upload directory. No account or user interaction is required, and deletion of a critical WordPress file can interrupt the site.
