CVE-2024-7777Network attack vector

Administrator file read and deletion via path traversal

Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Aug 20, 2024

Path traversal in Bit Apps Bit Form 2.0 through 2.13.9 allows remote authenticated users to read and delete arbitrary server files. Multiple handlers in includes/Admin/AdminAjax.php pass request-controlled paths to file-read or deletion operations without confining them to an intended directory. Administrator privileges are required; deleting a critical WordPress file such as wp-config.php can enable code execution or disable the site.
